Abstract

The development, often after a long delay, of cancer in post-pneumothorax pouches is well known. A case of lymphoma developed on such a pouch is reported. Although cases of lymphoma developed on pulmonary scars have been published, we were unable to find in the literature cases of lymphoma developed on a sequela of old therapeutic pneumothorax.
