Abstract (2. Language): 
Primary tumors of the chest wall are very rare. We herein report a very rare case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with a solitary chest wall mass. A 52-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital because of an abnormality detected on her chest X-ray during the preoperative evaluation for surgical therapy of femur fracture. On physical examination, a 10x7 cm sized, immobile, irregular mass involving the 6.-8. ribs on posterior chest wall was detected. Chest computerized tomography demonstrated a mass invading also the muscles on the chest wall. The histopathological examination of the tru-cut biopsy specimen obtained from the mass was reported as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The patient received systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. She is still being followed up with no evidence of active disease 22 months after the initial diagnosis.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Primer göğüs duvarı tümörleri seyrektir. Burada soliter göğüs duvarı tümörü ile ortaya çıkan nadir bir non-Hodgkin lenfoma olgusunu sunduk. Elli iki yaşında bayan hasta hastanemize patolojik femur kırığına yönelik yapılacak olan cerrahi tedaviye hazırlık sırasında çekilen direkt akciğer grafisindeki anormallikle başvurdu. Fizik muayenede, göğüs arka duvarında, 6.-8. kotları tutan, 10x7 cm boyutlarında, hareketsiz, düzensiz kitle saptandı. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde göğüs duvarında kasları da invaze eden kitle izlendi. Kitleden alınan tru-cut biyopsinin histopatolojik inceleme sonucu diffüz büyük B hücreli lenfoma olarak rapor edildi. Hastaya sistemik kemoterapi ve lokal radyoterapi uygulandı. Hasta tanı sonrası 22. ayda izlenmekte olup, hastalıkla ilgili aktif bir durum görülmedi.
