“…Reported cases of PPLs in current literature are presented in Table 1. A biopsy is a primary method to address diagnostically challenging pleural effusions and masses, often requiring a combination of histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses [17]. DLBCLs can be classified into the germinal center and non-germinal center lymphomas based on their immunostaining with CD10, BLC6, and MUM-1 [18].…”

Primary pleural lymphoma is a rare type of lymphoma that accounts for only 0.3% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The rarity and nonspecific clinical presentation of primary pleural lymphomas pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. We present an atypical case of primary pleural lymphoma in an elderly patient without any associated pleuro-pulmonary disease, immunosuppression, or history of lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is one of the first described cases of a primary pleural lymphoma with such a presentation.
