Abstract

Pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL) is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that occurs in the pleural cavity of patients with a long-standing history of pyothorax. Here, we report a left pleuropneumonectomy performed for PAL in a 76-year-old male patient with a 60-year history of pyothorax due to tuberculosis.
