Subcutaneous scalp manifestations of diffuse large b-cell lymphoma are uncommon and can be an easily overlooked diagnosis. Today we report a rare case of a 60-year-old male with a previous history of treatment and removal of multiple benign cysts who presented to the office for the removal of a subcutaneous mass on the left occipital scalp. Intraoperatively the mass did not resemble a cyst. Pathology results showed diffuse large b-cell lymphoma, highlighting the importance of thorough management of subcutaneous masses.

Retroperitoneal lumbar hernias are a rare entity. Atraumatic posterior perirenal hernias are an exceptionally rare form of retroperitoneal lumbar hernias. Because of their infrequency, there are no standardized methods of surgical care for the treatment of atraumatic (primary spontaneous) posterior perirenal hernias. This report documents the finding and management of an atraumatic posterior perirenal lumbar hernia in a 69-year-old female.
