“…The extranodal manifestations of DLBCL generally affect the gastrointestinal tract or bone marrow and less commonly affect the skeletal muscle 1. Furthermore, in most cases of skeletal muscle DLBCL, upper arm muscles and glutei are reported to be predominantly affected 1. Hence, the present case of DLBCL in the psoas muscle presents an extremely rare manifestation.…”

DESCRIPTIONA 78-year-old man with a history of aphasia caused by cerebral infarction came to our hospital because of persistent progressive left lower back pain for 1 week, which had radiated through the left buttock and down the left thigh.On clinical examination, he was in the right lateral decubitus position on a bed in a psoas posture with a body temperature of 36.7°C. Laboratory results revealed leucocytosis (9.71×10 9 /L), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (415 IU/L) and creatine kinase (255 IU/L) levels.Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen after plain CT revealed a swollen left psoas muscle that was enhanced homogeneously (figure 1, arrows), indicating tumours in the left psoas.A pathological examination of the left psoas muscle by CT-guided needle biopsy was conducted. H&E (figure 2) and additional immunohistochemical staining results ( positive for CD20, weakly positive for CD10, negative for CD3 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, and a high MIB-1 index) were consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Although the primary origin of DLBCL was unclear, the left psoas muscle was most likely compared with the swollen lymph nodes in the perirenal space and para-aorta ventral to left psoas muscle because of its considerably large size.The patient's family requested only palliative care instead of chemotherapy due to the patient's advanced age and dementia. His clinical condition gradually deteriorated, he developed multiorgan system failure and died 43 days postadmission.Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common type of lymphoma 1

Endobronchial involvement of extrapulmonary malignant tumors is uncommon and mostly associated with breast, kidney, colon, and rectum carcinomas. A 68-year-old male with a prior diagnosis of colon non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of cough, sputum, and dyspnea. The chest radiograph showed right hilar enlargement and opacity at the right middle zone suggestive of a mass lesion. Computed tomography of thorax revealed a right-sided mass lesion extending to thoracic wall with the destruction of the third and the fourth ribs and a right hilar mass lesion. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in order to evaluate endobronchial involvement and showed stenosis with mucosal tumor infiltration in right upper lobe bronchus. The pathological examination of bronchoscopic biopsy specimen reported diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and the patient was accepted as the endobronchial recurrence of sigmoid colon NHL. The patient is still under treatment of R-ICE (rituximab-ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide) chemotherapy and partial regression of pulmonary lesions was noted after 3 courses of treatment.
