Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, arising in the mediastinum from putative thymic B-cell origin with distinctive clinical and genetic features. Generally, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is believed as only deriving in the mediastinum. The current study presents a rare case of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma which arising from thyroid in a renal recipient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Moreover, we devoted a discussion to the relationship among primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, immunomodulatory therapy and autoimmune diseases. The immunologic derangement induced by long-term immunomodulatory therapy and Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be the possible cause for the ectopic lymphoma.
