Abstract

A 79-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of left shoulder pain. He presented with signs and symptoms typical of Pancoast syndrome. A chest roentgenogram and computed tomogram revealed a mass lesion that was connected to old pleural thicking due to tuberculosis in the left superior sulcus. A cervical lymph node biopsy was done and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was diagnosed. Chemotherapy was effective but the patient died of severe pneumonia. Pancoast syndrome associated with malignant lymphoma is very rare. Care must be taken in the management of patients with shoulder pain, chest pain, and old pleural tuberculosis.
