We experienced a 63-year-old female patient who had nonspecific arthritis on both hands and feet accompanied by fever. Sh… Show more
“…A literature search for arthritis associated with PBM-DLBCL identified only one report where a patient with seronegative polyarthritis developed bone marrow limited high-grade NHL. [ 4 ] Due to the extreme rarity of PBM-DLBCL, at present, these patients are managed similar to those with DLBCL-NOS with R-CHOP chemotherapy. The possibility that prolonged use of methotrexate and steroids may have altered the characteristics of DLBCL in our patient should be considered.…”
