The occurrence of extranodal primary B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is rare. Total hip replacement is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures performed. There has been an increased incidence of primary lymphomas involving periprosthetic sites. Chronic inflammation due to metal debris arising from the prosthetic implants has been evidenced as one of the causes for the development of soft tissue lymphomas albeit rarely. We describe a case report of a 77-year-old patient who had underwent a cemented total hip replacement in the past who further developed large B cell primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She presented initially with signs and symptoms highly suggestive of underlying periprosthetic infection. The radiological imaging was also indicative of periprosthetic infection. The diagnosis was eventually confirmed after an open biopsy. This case underlines the importance of considering and including soft tissue malignancy in the differential diagnosis of suspected chronic periprosthetic infection.

AbstractNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the head and neck has been described in several sites including the larynx, the pharynx, Waldeyer's ring, the nose and paranasal sinuses. NHL of the temporal region has not been previously described. We describe a 65-year-old woman with a diffuse swelling of the right temporal region. A histological diagnosis of NHL was made following complete excision of the lesion. No further treatment was given and there was no evidence of recurrence at six months.

Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) presenting as a soft tissue sarcoma is rare, occurring at a rate of 0.11%. Peripheral T-cell lymphomas comprise 4% of all NHLs. We report the case of a 49-year-old Caucasian man who presented with a mass in the medial aspect of the thigh. Ultrasound showed a complex subcutaneous mass. MRI demonstrated a superficial complex skeletal mass affecting the sartorius muscle with other lesions involving the femur and the gluteus maximus. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed diffuse pulmonary metastases with no involvement of nodes, liver, spleen with high suspicion of advanced sarcoma. Core biopsy revealed a T-cell NHL, and staining was positive for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. The patient received six cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide and prednisone. Repeat PET-CT showed reduction in the mass, with no fluorodeoxyglucose-avid uptake. Latest MRI showed near-normal intensity. Further PET-CTs determine disease remission or progression.
