Author(s): DURIEUX P, RAVEZ P Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 60 Issue: 6 Date: 2005 Pages: 383-387 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.60.6.2050490 Abstract : We report the case of a 67-year-old man with a history of pneumopathy with pleural effusion and weight loss. Exsudative lymphocytic pleural effusion was found. Thoracoscopy gave diagnosis of widespread diffuse large B-cell NHL. Talc pleurodesis and CHOP-Rituximab regimen were performed with a favorable clinical and radiological response. We discuss lymphocytic pleural effusion, especially associated with NHL and primary pleural lymphoma. |
