“…The diagnosis of pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by cardiac and mediastinal neoplastic tumors has recently been facilitated by noninvasive echocardiographic techniques [2,9,10]. This diagnosis can be verified, and the degree of obstruction can be determined, using right cardiac catheterization with pulmonary angiography.…”

Acquired pulmonary stenosis in adults due to extrinsic compression of the pulmonary artery is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). The incidence remains poorly known in the literature since only a few sporadic cases are described. The clinical management is directed towards the treatment of the underlying disease. According to the latter, the patient may benefit from chemotherapy, radiotherapy, angioplasty, stenting, or surgery. We describe here the case of a young patient who was diagnosed with acquired extrinsic pulmonary stenosis secondary to a type B large cell lymphoma of mediastinal location. Our clinical case affirms the interest of a transthoracic echocardiogram in the diagnosis as well as the follow-up of this unusual manifestation.
