Primary Extranodal Skeletal-Muscle Non-Hodgkin B Cell Lymphoma: Clinical Presentation and Diagnostic Approach.

Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas that involve skeletal muscles (PSML) are infrequent with non- specific features or symptoms. Therefore, their diagnosis can be immensely convoluted since they mimic other soft tissue tumors and diseases (34). In this study, the case of a 61-year-old male patient, who presented with a history of a 6-week left thigh oedema and concomitant pain in our Emergency Department, is discussed. The patient was initially reviewed in another institution; the results of imaging studies (ultrasound scan) were consistent with deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Despite treatment, the patient's pain and swelling was exacerbating, which forced him to visit our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a diffused mass in his right thigh, while fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) yielded a diagnosis of B-cell lymphoid hyperplasia. The patient was then referred to a tertiary cancer treatment center for further management.
