Pneumomediastinum as a complication to treatment of mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma.
Mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma (Med-DLBCL) is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) with a typical radiological appearance of bulky anterior mediastinal mass, often with areas of necrosis. We report a case of Med-DLBCL with unusual radiological findings and clinical development. ⋯ To our knowledge, air-fluid levels inside Med-DLBCL have not been previously described. This finding, in combination with necrotic sputum, may indicate communication between the tracheobronchial tree and the tumor.
