CD20-negative pyothorax-associated B cell lymphoma.

We describe an 86-year-old male who developed CD20-negative pyothorax-associated B cell lymphoma 64 years after he had suffered from tuberculous pleuritis. Therapy with 8 courses of THP-COP at 2-week intervals was followed by involved-field radiotherapy of 30 Gy. Uncertain complete remission was achieved.
