An elderly woman, two months after chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, presented with left-sided otalgia, discharge and facial nerve palsy. MRI showed an active left mastoid infection with an ear canal lesion, likely to be a cholesteatoma. However, a biopsy of the mass showed recurrent high-grade lymphoma. Following diagnosis, the patient opted for palliative care within the community and consequently passed away a few weeks later.
一名老年女性，在接受弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤化疗两个月后，出现左侧耳痛、流脓及面神经麻痹。磁共振成像（MRI）显示左侧乳突有活动性感染，并伴有耳道病变，可能为胆脂瘤。然而，对该肿物进行活检显示为复发性高级别淋巴瘤。确诊后，患者选择在社区接受姑息治疗，几周后不幸去世。
