Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a type of carcinoma which usually begins with lymph nodes. Pathogenesis of pleural fluid formation and reabsorption is also associated with pulmonary lymphatic system. Usually pleural effusions are encountered as complications due to infective aetiologies and non-infective causes. Pleural fluid formation and reabsorption in pulmonary lymphatic system are associated with pathogenesis. Authors present here a case report of a patient who presented with left sided severe chest pain investigated to have recurrent pleural effusion, and different clinico-radiological presentations. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed a mediastinal mass from which CT guided biopsy was done and suggestive of Lymphoma. The patient responded to pleurodesis and chemotherapy.

Heart failure may present with diverse manifestation. It is far most common cause of bilateral transudative pleural effusion. In very unusual case, it may present with only massive transudative pleural effusion without cardiomegaly and other features of heart failure such as leg odema, tender hepatomegaly or congested liver. We presented a case that present with massive transudative pleural effusion with mediastinal lymphadenopathy evidenced by CT scan of chest and treated successfully with diuretics.
