Abstract

Although lymphoma is one of the commonest mediastinal tumors, mediastinal involvement of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is rare. Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) involves mostly anterior or middle mediastinum. Cases of PMBCL involving posterior mediastinum are very rare. Lymphoma was diagnosed after a biopsy via minithoracotomy of a 52-years-old male patient having a posterior mediastinal mass lesion. He had neither lymphadenopathy nor hepatosplenomegaly in physical examination, and radiological evaluation. Gallium 67 scintigraphy showed accumulation only in the mediastinum, revealing the diagnosis of PMBCL. Although very rare, PMBCL should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal lesions.

Özet

Lenfoma en sık görülen mediastinal tümörler arasındadır, ama non-Hodgkin lenfomada (NHL) mediasten tutulumu nadirdir. NHL?nin bir varyantı olan primer mediastinal büyük B-hücreli lenfoma (PMBHL) %6 oranında görülür ve özellikle ön-orta mediastende yer alır. PMBHL?nin arka mediastende görülmesi nadir bir durumdur. Arka mediastende kitle saptanan 52 yaşındaki bir erkek hastaya minitorakotomiyle biyopsi yapılmış ve lenfoma tanısı konmuştur. Lenfadenopati veya hepatosplenomegalisi bulunmayan hastaya Galyum 67 sintigrafisi sonrası PMBHL kesin tanısı konarak, tedavi amacıyla Medikal Onkoloji klini¤ine verilmiştir. Nadir görülmekle birlikte, arka mediastende lezyonlarının ayırıcı tanısında PMBHL yer almalıdır.
