The superior vena cava syndrome refers to a medical emergency resulting from superior vena cava compression, which develops in 2%-4% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma is an unusual and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can present with superior vena cava syndrome. We report the case of a Caucasian 21-year-old female, who presented with acute superior vena cava syndrome, having started 2 weeks before. Chest computerized tomography disclosed an anterior mediastinal mass (18 × 14 cm). Thoraco - abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging was performed in order to differentiate compression versus mass invasion. A gross anterior mediastinal mass (109 × 60 × 105 mm) occupying the totality of the prevascular space was found, extending from the sternal furcula to the pericardium, fully embedding the superior vena cava. A computerized tomography guided biopsy was performed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis was consistent with Primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma. Primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma has unique clinicopathologic aspects and it should be considered in a young patient with Superior vena cava syndrome. Prompt recognition, a timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for prognosis.

The Saudi Lymphoma Group had previously published recommendations on the management of the major subtypes of lymphoma. However, the effect the currently ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has on the management of patients with lymphoma has been paramount. Therefore, the Saudi Lymphoma Group has decided to provide clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis, management and follow-up of patients with various types of lymphoma during the COVID-19 pandemic.
