This study presents two cases of primary low-grade pleural B-cell lymphomas. These lymphomas occurred without any prior history of pyothorax, offering new insights into pleural malignancy.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Thoracic Medicine

Background:

  • Pleural lymphomas are rare malignancies.
  • Primary low-grade B-cell lymphomas of the pleura are exceptionally uncommon.
  • The association between pyothorax and pleural lymphoma is a known, though infrequent, phenomenon.

Observation:

  • The study details two distinct cases of patients diagnosed with primary low-grade pleural B-cell lymphoma.
  • Neither patient had any documented history of pyothorax (pus in the pleural space).

Findings:

  • The presented cases highlight the occurrence of primary low-grade pleural B-cell lymphomas in the absence of a pyothorax history.
  • This finding challenges the conventional understanding that pyothorax is a prerequisite for such lymphomas.

Implications:

  • These findings expand the differential diagnosis for pleural masses, particularly in patients without risk factors like chronic infection.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific etiopathogenesis of pleural B-cell lymphomas independent of pyothorax.
  • Understanding these distinct presentations can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management in thoracic oncology.
