- Abstract
A 44-year-old male patient with no previous medical history presented with dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain in the right hemithorax. The chest x-ray taken upon admission shows significant right pleural effusion. He was evaluated by the Pulmonology department who performed diagnostic and evacuative thoracentesis. In addition, they requested contrast-enhanced chest tomography, which reported a large posterior mediastinal (paravertebral) mass, associated with apparent bone marrow infiltration of multiple vertebral bodies, and bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy. Subsequently, a biopsy of the paravertebral mass was performed, confirming one of the rare diagnoses presented as posterior mediastinal masses, large B-cell Lymphoma.
