Pancoast syndrome: A rare presentation of non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma

Abstract

Pancoast syndrome is a common presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma, but other malignancies are rarely cited as its cause. Pancoast syndrome due to non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma is rarely described in the literature. Here, we report a case of Pancoast syndrome due to non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma to increase the awareness of the clinicians regarding essentiality of tissue diagnosis of Pancoast tumor before starting the treatment.
