“…In approximately 10% of patients with undiagnosed pleural effusion, a lymphoma is finally detected [2]. Primary pleural lymphoma is even rarer accounting for only 7% of lymphoma cases [3]. Primary pleural lymphoma usually affects patients with HIV or with chronic tuberculous pyothorax [1].…”

Primary pleural lymphoma is rare. It occurs in only 7% of lymphoma cases. We report herein two cases of primary pleural Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin follicular lymphomas diagnosed by thoracoscopy under local anesthesia. Both patients presented initially with dyspnea revealing pleural effusions. The pleural findings during thoracoscopy differed in the two cases and selective pleural biopsies under optical forceps led to the diagnosis of lymphoma. To date, primary pleural Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin follicular lymphomas have not been reported.

“…About 40% of patients are asymptomatic and present with a solitary pulmonary nodule on chest x-ray. Symptomatic patients may have fever, weight loss, and pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis, and have radiological evidence of bilateral diffuse interstitial infiltrates [139]. The prognosis is significantly worse when systemic symptoms are present.…”

“…The estimated standardized incidence rate was 0–0.3 per 100 person-years in a cohort of 4,700 HIV-infected adults, as stated in a recent study which reviewed 35 such cases [81, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 97, 98, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109]. Almost all cases of AIDS-related PPL are high-grade B-cell NHL of the large-cell type with either large-cell cleaved or noncleaved or immunoblastic or not otherwise specified [81].…”

Pulmonary Malignancies in the Immunocompromised Patient

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Clinicians should be familiar with immunodeficiency-related malignancies, as their incidence is expected to increase further with the rise in the number and survival of immunocompromised patients. The most common malignancies affecting the lungs in those patients are Kaposi’s sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and, to a far less extent, Hodgkin’s disease and bronchogenic carcinoma. However, their relative frequency depends on the types of immune deficiency, including those due to congenital disorders, AIDS and drug treatments. This review will summarize epidemiological data on the frequency of immmunodeficiency-related malignancies, recent advances on their pathogenesis and current approaches to their diagnosis and treatment in the various immunosuppressed groups.
