Primary extra-nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the skeletal muscles is a well recognized entity although such occurrences are not very common. Presentation in the muscles of the face has only rarely been described. We present a case of primary extra-nodal NHL in a non-immunocompromised patient involving only the muscles of facial expression and not extending to the oral cavity or sinonasal tract. The patient was subsequently treated with chemotherapy and at the time of writing remained in remission. We suggest that lymphoma should be considered among the causes for malignant infiltration of the muscles of the face.
原发性骨骼肌结外非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）是一种已被充分认识的疾病，尽管这种情况并不常见。面部肌肉受累的病例仅有罕见报道。我们报告一例非免疫功能低下患者的原发性结外NHL，仅累及面部表情肌，未累及口腔或鼻窦。该患者随后接受了化疗，在撰写本文时仍处于缓解期。我们建议，面部肌肉恶性浸润的病因应考虑淋巴瘤。
