Abstract:
A 76-year-old male patient, who had undergone right axillary artery bypass and arch replacement surgery for retrograde type A aortic dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair 2 years ago, was referred to our department with complaints of swelling and pain in the right subclavian region. A computed tomography scan suspected an abscess around the bypass graft; however, the culture was negative. Pathological examination indicated a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) diagnosis. Chemotherapy was not indicated due to the patient's condition, and he passed away after 3 months. DLBCL originating around a graft is extremely rare but crucial for differential diagnosis.
