Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with about 30% of new cases presenting with extranodal disease. Lesions originating from soft tissues of the upper extremities are extremely rare and may mimic other malignancies like sarcoma. We present a case of an elderly patient with right upper extremity (RUE) mass which was proven to be DLBCL instead of sarcoma. We emphasize the increasing need for investigating new therapeutic options for patients of extreme age and/or with underlying heart disease.
弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)是最常见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤类型,约30%的新发病例表现为结外病变。起源于上肢软组织的病变极为罕见,可能类似肉瘤等其他恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例老年患者,其右上肢肿块经证实为DLBCL而非肉瘤。我们强调,对于高龄和/或患有基础心脏病的患者,越来越需要探索新的治疗选择。
