Lymphoma presenting as an intramuscular mass

The British Journal of Surgery

Abstract

Resection of an intramuscular mass without tissue diagnosis can lead to unnecessary surgery. During a 4.5-year period 19 previously healthy patients referred with an undiagnosed soft tissue tumour were found to have intramuscular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In seven patients this was the only focus of disease (Stage IE). Patients were treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone or in combination. After mean follow-up of 43 months all of the patients with stage IE lymphoma are alive and disease free. Primary intramuscular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has a good prognosis. The importance of a tissue diagnosis by needle core biopsy is emphasized.
