“…Additionally, the presence of traversing vessels seems to be characteristic for ASTL as it was present in 20 of 24 (83%) investigated patients ( Figure 4 ). Necrosis is generally considered as being absent in soft tissue lymphoma manifestations before treatment [ 8 , 14 , 37 , 40 ]; however, there are rare reports of necrosis being present in MRI of soft tissue lymphoma manifestations [ 18 , 41 ]. Diffusion weighted imaging seems to pose a further asset in the characterization of soft tissue lymphoma.…”

Appendicular soft tissue lymphoma (ASTL) is rare and is frequently misinterpreted as soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Studies investigating magnet resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of ASTL are scarce and showed heterogenous investigation criteria and results. The purpose of this study was to systematically review clinical presentations and MRI characteristics of ASTL as described in the current literature. For that purpose, we performed a systematic literature review in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Patient demographics, clinical presentation and MRI imaging characteristics of ASTL were investigated, resulting in a total of nine included studies reporting a total of 77 patients. Signal intensity of lymphoma compared to muscle tissue was mostly described as isointense (53%) or slightly hyperintense (39%) in T1-weighted images and always as hyperintense in proton-and T2-weighted images. Multicompartmental involvement was reported in 59% of cases and subcutaneous stranding in 74%. Long segmental involvement was present in 80% of investigated cases. Involvement of neurovascular structures was reported in 41% of cases and the presence of traversing vessels in 83% of patients. The presence of these findings should lead to the inclusion of ASTL in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses.

“…Currently, there is no widely available tool for real-time noninvasive diagnosis of soft tissue masses [ 3 ]. Ewing family tumors are more commonly skeletal; the extraskeletal form is much rarer, seen in the paravertebral regions, thoracic wall Primary malignant involvement of soft tissues by extranodal lymphoma is rare, accounting for only 0.1-2 % of all soft tissue tumors [ 17 ]. More commonly, there is extension of a primary bone lymphoma into the surrounding tissues [ 18 ].…”

“…Absence of cortical destruction, however, does not exclude primary bone involvement. The softtissue mass is usually hypo-or isointense to muscle on T1-weighted images and may contain areas of mild high signal intensity (66). The mass is usually hyperintense to muscle on T2-weighted images (although cases of hypointense masses have also been described [66,67]) and may enhance with intravenous gadolinium contrast agent (Fig 18).…”

Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all soft-tissue masses, especially if there is a history of congenital immunodeficiency, organ transplantation, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or autoimmune connective tissue disorders.…”
