Abstract Background Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with bulky disease and/or those who fail to achieve complete response benefit from the addition of radiotherapy (RT). We aim to review the outcome, as well as determine the impact of cell-of-origin, on patients undergoing consolidative RT. Patients and methods Patients with DLBCL treated with radical intent consolidative RT were included. Clinical, pathological and treatment characteristics were extracted from electronic medical records. Survival outcomes and factors that predict for disease-free survival (DFS) were analysed. Results Seventy-four patients were included in this analysis. The median follow up was 3 years (0.7–16 years). Fifty-eight percent of patients had stage I–II disease, and 61% received at least 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Cell-of-origin was discernible in 60% of patients, and approximately half were classified as Germinal centre origin. The 5-year overall survival (OS) of this group was excellent at 92% (median survival not reached). The 5-year DFS was 73% (95% CI 57–83%). Seven percent (n = 5) of patients experienced local recurrence at a median time of 6 months. Failure to achieve complete response post RT and/or initial bulky disease are significant predictors of inferior DFS. There was no association between cell-of-origin and DFS or OS. Conclusions The outcome of patients who received radiotherapy as consolidation is excellent. Patients who fail to achieve complete response after radiotherapy had poorer outcomes. Despite using radiotherapy, presence of bulky disease remains a significant predictor of disease recurrence. We did not find any association of poorer outcomes, with regards to cell-of-origin, in the use of consolidative RT.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with extra nodal skeletal involvement is rare. It is currently unclear whether these lymphomas should be treated in the same manner as those without skeletal involvement. We retrospectively analyzed the impact of combining high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) with an anthracycline-based regimen and rituximab as first-line treatment in a cohort of 93 patients with DLBCL and skeletal involvement with long follow-up. Fifty patients (54%) received upfront HD-MTX for prophylaxis of CNS recurrence (high IPI score and/or epidural involvement) or because of skeletal involvement. After adjusting for age, ECOG, high LDH levels, and type of skeletal involvement, HD-MTX was associated with an improved PFS and OS (HR: 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1–0.3, p < 0.001 and HR: 0.1, 95% CI: 0.04–0.3, p < 0.001, respectively). Patients who received HD-MTX had significantly better 5-year PFS and OS (77% vs. 39%, p <0.001 and 83 vs. 58%, p < 0.001). Radiotherapy was associated with an improved 5-year PFS (74 vs. 48%, p = 0.02), whereas 5-year OS was not significantly different (79% vs. 66%, p = 0.09). A landmark analysis showed that autologous stem cell transplantation was not associated with improved PFS or OS. The combination of high-dose methotrexate and an anthracycline-based immunochemotherapy is associated with an improved outcome in patients with DLBCL and skeletal involvement and should be confirmed in prospective trials.

Lymphoma is the seventh most common type of malignancy in both males and females. It may develop in any location where lymphomatous tissue exists. Although extranodal presentation in the lower limb and pelvis are uncommon, it could present with diverse manifestations. We report an unusual case of primary extranodal large B-cell lymphoma of the ankle joint initially presumed to be a chronic osteomyelitis. This case report discusses the impact of imaging studies on decision-making and highlights the need to consider malignancy in chronic infections.
