Abstract:
A 39-year-old tailor was seen initially with primary extranodal malignant lymphoma of the deep soft tissues of the right hand. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunocytochemical staining technique on the biopsy material. Review of the literature showed that this is a rare presentation. The prognosis is related to histologic grading. The patient received radiotherapy and the lesion responded rapidly. He was free of the disease 1 year later.
