Abstract
Primary chest wall masses or tumors can be of two types, either benign or malignant. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Though an aggressive malignancy, with timely and appropriate treatment, approximately two-third of all patients can be cured. We present a rare case of DLBCL presenting as chest wall mass. This case suggests the possibility of the presence of primary malignant B cell lymphoma, with the presentation as a chest wall lesion.
Keywords: Chest mass, Diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Mass, Non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
