Skeletal muscle lymphoma is a rare condition that can mimic other diseases. This case highlights the importance of considering lymphoma in patients with unexplained limb swelling, even when imaging suggests other causes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lymphoma typically manifests as painless lymphadenopathy.
  • Extranodal involvement, including skeletal muscle, is less common.
  • Differentiating muscle lymphoma from other conditions can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with progressive lower extremity swelling.
  • Computed tomography scans suggested inflammatory necrosis.
  • The swelling was ultimately diagnosed as skeletal muscle lymphoma via biopsy.

Findings:

  • Skeletal muscle lymphoma can present atypically.
  • Imaging findings may be misleading.
  • Biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the need for a broad differential diagnosis in cases of unexplained swelling.
  • Early recognition and biopsy are vital for timely lymphoma diagnosis and treatment.
  • Understanding rare presentations improves diagnostic accuracy in oncology.
