“…Tissue samples were obtained from the abdominal wall muscle and stomach, and DLBCL was confirmed unexpectedly. Although some cases of muscle involvement of lymphoma, especially primary skeletal muscle DLBCL, have been reported to date[ 4 - 6 ], skeletal muscle involvement is rare and accounts for approximately 5% of extranodal lymphomas[ 7 ]. The most common sites of skeletal muscle lymphoma were the extremities and presented as painful and palpable masses.…”

BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and patients with DLBCL typically present rapidly growing masses. Lymphoma involving muscle is rare and accounts for only 5%; furthermore, multiple muscles and soft tissue involvement of DLBCL is unusual. Due to unusual clinical manifestation, accurate diagnosis could be delayed. CASE SUMMARY A 61-year-old man complained of swelling, pain and erythematous changes in the lower abdomen. Initially, soft tissue infection was suspected, however, skin lesion did not respond to antibiotics. 18 Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography demonstrated FDG uptake not only in the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen but also in the abdominal wall muscles, peritoneum, perineum, penis and testis. DLBCL was confirmed by biopsy of the abdominal wall muscle and subcutaneous tissue. After intensive treatment including chemotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone, central nervous system prophylaxis (intrathecal injection of methotrexate, cytarabine and hydrocortisone) and orchiectomy, he underwent peripheral blood stem cell mobilization for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Despite intensive treatment, the disease progressed rapidly and the patient showed poor outcome (overall survival, 9 mo; disease free survival, 3 mo). CONCLUSION The first clinical manifestation of soft tissue DLBCL involving multiple muscles was similar to the infection of the soft tissue.

“…Since the present lymphoma did not form a mass in any organ, it was difficult to diagnose this case as lymphoma before necropsy examination. Some human cases have masses or swelling of peripheral nerves (Agrawal et al, 2013) and skeletal muscles (Matikas et al, 2013), while others have no apparent masses and are detectable only after biopsy or necropsy examination (Asanome et al, 2018). In cats, B-cell lymphoma in multiple peripheral nerves (e.g.…”

An 11-year-old female American shorthair cat was presented with a 3-month history of hindlimb ataxia and knuckling of the left forelimb. Clinical abnormalities included weight loss, hyperaesthesia of the neck and back, cardiac murmur and systemic muscle atrophy. The cat died 10 days after the initial presentation and a necropsy examination was performed. Grossly, extensive pale lesions were seen in the wall of the left ventricle and the septum of the heart. There were no detectable masses in the heart, skeletal muscles or peripheral nerves. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse, extensive infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells in the heart; the cardiac muscles were markedly degenerate and atrophic and were replaced by the neoplastic cells. Neoplastic cells with similar morphology were seen in all specimens of the skeletal muscles and peripheral nerves. Clonality analysis of the paraffin wax-embedded heart tissue revealed a monoclonal rearrangement of the gene encoding the T-cell receptor g chain. Based on these findings, the case was diagnosed as T-cell lymphoma with tropism for striated muscle and peripheral nerve.

Extranodal involvement is more common with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) than other subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in childhood. According to our knowledge, there are rare cases in the literature about muscle involvement of BL, and its F-FDG PET/CT findings were not well defined. We report a 6-year-old girl with a histopathologic diagnosis of BL and referred for staging with PET/CT. FDG-avid abdominal lymph nodes and diffuse involvements of right quadriceps muscle were demonstrated.
