“…However, epitrochlear lymph nodes have been linked in the past with syphilis and recently to sarcoidosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. [ 1 2 3 ] Traditional teaching in clinical medicine emphasizes the importance of examining this node, considering the specific diseases it can diagnose. The scientific basis for such an assumption is lacking, and a comprehensive review on the various causes of epitrochlear lymphadenopathy is not available.…”

“…In the literature, very limited information is available on patients with Hodgkin disease with epitrochlear lymph node involvement. 7 This very rare presentation of Hodgkin disease was first described 1932 by Rouviere. 8 In the subsequent years, authors have reported epitrochlear lymph node positivity in Hodgkin disease with physical examination findings in rare isolated cases or several large series.…”

Although epitrochlear lymph nodes may be enlarged as a part of generalized lymphadenopathy, isolated enlargement of epitrochlear lymph nodes is rarely seen. We describe Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a 55-year-old male who presented with isolated epitrochlear lymphadenopathy of his right arm. In the histopathological examination of the epitrochlear lymph node was a lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma with a clinical grade (CS IA) diagnosed. The diagnosis was confirmed, via the bone marrow biopsy and positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging, as pathological stage PS IA and clinical stage CS IA. Epitrochlear lymph node involvement, as a first presentation, is rarely seen in Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The aim of this study was to recapitulate the possible background diseases arising on the basis of an asymptomatic epitrochlear lymphadenopathy, to review the Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with primary epitrochlear lymphadenopathy in light of the literature, and to highlight the importance of a careful examination of the elbow site in routine physical examination.

The spectrum of soft‐tissue mass is varied, including neoplastic and nonneoplastic/inflammatory lesions. However, soft‐tissue tumors have similar imaging findings and, therefore, the diagnosis of soft‐tissue mass is challenging. Although careful assessment of the internal characteristics on imaging can often narrow the differential diagnoses, the differential diagnosis may be out of the question if identification of the soft‐tissue mass origin is missed. The purpose of this article is to review the imaging findings and the essential anatomy to identify the primary site of the soft‐tissue mass, and discuss the associated potential pitfalls. In order not to fall into a pitfall, recognition of characteristic imaging findings indicating the origin of the soft‐tissue mass and anatomical knowledge of the normal tissue distribution are necessary.
