Abstract	The present study describes the case of a 51-year-old male presenting with a pneumothorax, in whom a final diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified type (PTCL-u) was determined. As the patient had experienced a shortness of breath subsequent to exercise for a period of 2 months, a fiber bronchoscopy was performed; however, no abnormalities were initially identified. Following the bronchoscopy, the patient suffered a recurrent pneumothorax with symptoms of emaciation, night sweats and a fever. The combination of computed tomography and interstitial lung pathology results suggested a high probability of malignant lymphoma. Further test results confirmed this diagnosis, including the fiber bronchoscopy biopsy report, which indicated a large amount of lymphocyte aggregation, and an ultrasound that identified several supraclavicular and left submandibular enlarged lymph nodes (largest size, 2.3×1.3 cm), with an absent hilar lymph node. A biopsy of the left cervical lymph node was performed, with post-operative pathological analysis confirming a diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified (stage IVB). The patient received two cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, and the symptoms alleviated following completion of the treatment, with chest radiography indicating that the pneumothorax had disappeared. The patient subsequently refused further treatment due to financial difficulty, and succumbed to the disease 6 months later.
