“…Our case showed a positive ‘pleural sandwich sign’ in contrast‐enhanced CT, in which the intercostal arteries are well visualized in the conglomerated pleural and chest wall masses. This sign has been reported in three previous reports of primary chest wall lymphomas occurring in patients without preceding pleural disease 7–9 . Kim et al reported that this sign is not seen in non‐lymphoma pleural tumours because of their rapid invasion of intercostal vessels 9 .…”

A 70‐year‐old man with no history of pleural diseases had a dumbbell‐shaped chest wall mass extending from the thoracic cavity to the spinal canal at the intervertebral foramen without bone destruction. Computed tomography revealed a positive a ‘pleural sandwich sign’, where the intercostal artery was enveloped by the mass. A high maximum standard uptake value was noted on fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography. No lesions were found in areas other than the chest wall. CT‐guided biopsy was performed and he was diagnosed with primary chest wall lymphoma. This case report suggests that these radiographic findings may be helpful for diagnosing chest wall lymphomas even in patients without prior pleural disease.

Primary lymphoma presenting a solitary lesion of the chest wall is extremely rare, as the majority of chest-wall tumors arise from metastasis. We report a case of a 64-year-old man with no history of HIV infection or pyothorax who presented with dry cough, right pleuritic pain and dyspnea. A computed tomography scan revealed an irregular pleural mass invading his right chest wall with pleural effusion. CT-guided needle biopsy revealed extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient has 9 years of follow up with 2 relapse's episodes.

Primary Chest Wall MYC/BCL6 Double-hit Lymphoma with t (3;7) (q27;p12) and t (8;14) (q24;q32) Translocations

Primary chest wall lymphoma is rare and typically associated with chronic pleural inflammation. Doublehit lymphoma (DHL), which is defined as aggressive mature B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 or BCL6 rearrangements, is a highly aggressive malignancy that tends to have extranodal involvement and is resistant to standard immunochemotherapy. We herein report a 55-year-old man with no history of chronic pleural inflammation, diagnosed with primary chest wall DHL with MYC/BCL6 rearrangement, and harboring a unique BCL6 translocation, t(3;7)(q27;p12). After six courses of intensive chemotherapy, he has achieved complete remission. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of primary chest wall DHL.
