Multiple soft tissue inflammation as the first symptom in lymphoma: A case report.

The clinical manifestations of lymphoma are various, and the atypical manifestations lead to difficult diagnosis and misdiagnosis. A 29-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to the symptoms of "three months of left ear purulence, 20 days of right eye swelling and fever". He was diagnosed as "multiple soft tissue infection" in the other hospital. The patient was treated with cefmetazole for anti-infection and dexamethasone for anti-inflammation. His condition has not improved. After being transferred to our hospital, he underwent multiple soft tissue biopsies and was diagnosed as T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was treated with oxaliplatin combined with gemcitabine. The experience of this case suggests that young people should be highly aware of the possibility of lymphoma when they have unexplained infection. Multiple tissue biopsies are very important for clear diagnosis.
