A 69 year old man with a chronic left pyothorax was treated by decortication. Although the treatment rapidly improved respiratory function, histopathological examination revealed a diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Subsequent bone marrow biopsy samples disclosed bone marrow involvement. It is possible that non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may develop from a chronic pyothorax.
一名患有慢性左侧脓胸的69岁男性接受了纤维板剥脱术治疗。尽管该治疗迅速改善了呼吸功能,但组织病理学检查显示为弥漫性大B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。随后的骨髓活检样本显示骨髓受累。非霍奇金淋巴瘤有可能由慢性脓胸发展而来。
