Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the cranial scalp and skull vault is a rare disease. We are describing a case of the same in a 50-year-old man. He was presented with a diffuse swelling in the left side scalp since 4 months of duration and progressively enlarging in size. On local Examination of the scalp, there was a diffuse swelling in the left parietal and occipital region of scalp. Imaging showed diffuse infiltration of the skull vault with extracranial soft tissue masses. Further investigations with CT scan chest, abdomen, and pelvis did not reveal any other evidence of systemic lymphoma. Biopsy of one of the scalp masses showed a small to intermediate cell B-cell lymphoma. Other nine previously reported cases of primary skull vault lymphoma were reviewed.
原发性颅顶头皮非霍奇金淋巴瘤是一种罕见疾病。我们在此描述一名50岁男性的此类病例。他自4个月前起左侧头皮出现弥漫性肿胀,且肿胀大小逐渐增大。头皮局部检查发现,头皮左侧顶叶和枕叶区域有弥漫性肿胀。影像学检查显示颅顶有弥漫性浸润,并伴有颅外软组织肿块。胸部、腹部和骨盆的CT扫描进一步检查未发现任何其他系统性淋巴瘤的证据。其中一个头皮肿块的活检显示为小至中等细胞B细胞淋巴瘤。我们还回顾了其他9例先前报道的原发性颅顶淋巴瘤病例。
