Abstract:
It is reported on a case in which a 51-year-old man 28 years after the pneumolytic treatment of a pulmonary tuberculosis developed a thoracic empyema under the existing pneumolysis scar. On account of the considerable scar formation in the region of the right hemithorax the thoracotomy was carried out for the purpose of decortication. Histologically a malignant immunoblastic lymphoma was verified in the area of the old scar.
