| Summary: | Extranodal MALT lymphomas are a type of lymphoproliferative syndrome belonging to non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The most common affectation of these types of lymphomas is the digestive tract (80%), the lung being only 14% of cases. We present the case of a 73 years old woman who goes to progressive dyspnea, with a large right pleural effusion on the chest x-ray. After screening and differential diagnosis of the different types of pleural effusion and the clinical etiological processes involved in its production, the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative process was reached, starting chemotherapy treatment with good evolution of both the pleural effusion and the patient's clinic. |
