Abstract :Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NHL); is the most common hematological malignancy, and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DLBCL); is the most common histological type. A 56-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of shortness of breath and fatigue for 1 month. It was learned in his professional history that he had been a dental technician for 30 years. He was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in 2020 and his chest radiograph was q/t 3/3 according to the International Labor Organization insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ILO); International Classification of pneumoconiosis radiographs. Laboratory examinations revealed an increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ESR 50 mm/h); and serum lactate dehydrogenase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LDH 368 IU/L); levels. On thoracic computed tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CT);, enlarged lymph nodes and lymphadenopathies insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LAP); with local conglomeration and calcifications in the mediastinal, subcarinal and bilateral hilar areas were seen. Widely disseminated inhomogeneous mass-like consolidation areas, including internal calcifications, extending from the hilum to the parenchyma in both lungs, were observed more prominently in the right middle zone. Diffuse interstitial thickenings, infiltrations and centrilobular nodular density increases in both lungs, nodular consolidated areas with recessed contours and nodules and ground glass densities were observed, especially in the left upper zone. In the lateral part of the left 5th rib, a heterogeneous soft tissue mass of approximately 12x5 cm, causing cortical destruction, invading the surrounding soft tissues and muscle planes, and containing internal cystic-necrotic components was observed. On abdominal CT, enlarged lymph nodes and LAPs, some of which contain calcifications, were observed in the abdomen. The pathology result was reported as Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma in the patient who underwent transthoracic biopsy due to radiographic appearances that are not typical for PMF. Here, we presented a case of pneumoconiosis with occupational carcinogen exposure and presenting with lymphoma.
