In July 2010, after 2 VT cycles, the CT scan showed a progression of extranodal masses with massive left pleural effusion (Figure 1(a)). After the intrapleural administration of bortezomib the patient became thoracocentesis-independent, and in a two-week period the CT scan confirmed significant regression of pleural effusion (Figure 1(b)).
