Low-grade B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with dominant presentation of chest wall mass is presented in this report. The patient, a 65-year-old woman, presented with pain, rising skin temperature and redness, and swelling on the right lower chest wall. The histopathological examination revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; the staging fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography demonstrated stage IVE disease, with hypermetabolic active disease in the right anterolateral chest wall in the form of large soft tissue mass and subcutaneous tissue with underlying bony erosion with extension into right anterior cardiophrenic space and superiorly up to right second costosternal region along the right internal mammary vessels. This was along with hypermetabolic active right axillary, right supraclavicular and left inguinal lymphadenopathy, and thickened hypermetabolic posterior right pleura with ametabolic right-sided pleural effusion. Bone marrow biopsy revealed uninvolved bone marrow. On follow-up after eight cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy, the mass had completely resolved on contrast-enhanced computed tomography.
本报告介绍了以胸壁肿块为主要表现的低级别B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。患者为一名65岁女性,表现为右下胸壁疼痛、皮肤温度升高、发红及肿胀。组织病理学检查显示为非霍奇金淋巴瘤;分期氟脱氧葡萄糖-正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描显示为IV期E疾病,右前外侧胸壁有高代谢活性疾病,表现为大的软组织肿块和皮下组织,伴有潜在骨质侵蚀,延伸至右前心膈角区,并沿右乳内血管向上至右第二肋胸骨区。同时伴有右腋窝、右锁骨上和左腹股沟淋巴结高代谢活性肿大,以及右后胸膜增厚伴高代谢,右侧有非代谢性胸腔积液。骨髓活检显示骨髓未受累。在接受8个周期的R-CHOP化疗后的随访中,对比增强计算机断层扫描显示肿块已完全消退。
