“…On CT this pattern can be misdiagnosed as muscle sarcoma [7,45]. Furthermore, primary muscle lymphoma presents in most cases with diffuse muscle infiltration [34, 46,47]. Several diagnostic criteria may be helpful here.…”

“…One of the first reports of the recurrence of large cell lymphoma in skeletal muscle as identified by CT scan was in 1995, [5] and MRI has also been used to document the recurrence of lymphoma to distant skeletal muscle sites. [6] In our patient, disseminated lymphoma manifested itself in an unexpected way. Despite the fact that systemic symptoms are more common as the disease advances or becomes more aggressive, [4] our patient displayed none of these.…”

A 66-year-old diabetic man presented with severe right thigh swelling and pain together with acute renal failure. At autopsy, this was found to be due to disseminated high grade B cell lymphoma invading the psoas muscle and multiple organs, including the kidneys. The unique presentation of this case emphasizes the need for increased awareness of the variety of ways in which lymphoma can manifest itself.

“…Five months later, the patient died from meningeal lymphomatous involvement. [ 13 ] The third case involves the recurrence of large cell lymphoma at the right psoas muscle after an initial complete remission of the disease. Three months after the diagnosis of the muscle relapse, the patient had abdominal surgery (debulking and right hemicolecomy) due to extensive disease progression in the abdomen.…”

Rationale:Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a malignancy of the B cells with extranodal primary involvement being estimated at 30% to 40% of cases. Primary skeletal muscle presentation of DLBCL is extremely rare, with an estimated incidence of about 0.5% of extranodal lymphomas, presenting mostly in the lower extremities. The possible mechanisms of muscle involvement of DLBCL include primary extranodal disease, extension from adjacent organs (such as lymph nodes) or disseminated disease.Patient concerns:We report a case of a 70-year-old woman with an advanced initially nodal DLBCL, treated with R-CHOP, that presented with an enlargement of her left thigh and restricted mobility 3 months after completion of chemotherapy. Imaging studies were performed, which showed possible infiltration of the muscles of the left thigh, without any nodal disease present.Diagnoses:Muscle biopsy documented the recurrence of the lymphoma at the left thigh.Interventions:The patient started second-line treatment with gemcitabine and vinorelbine.Outcomes:A partial response was achieved after the first cycle.Lessons:The remarkable element lies in the reappearance of the lymphoma at the left thigh muscles, with no radiographic or clinical evidence of involvement of lymph nodes, despite the extensive lymph node disease at initial presentation. The further management of such recurrences remains to be clarified, as the odd biological behavior of the malignant cells dictates a special handling of the disease.
