Abstract
Background
: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma ranks between 5th to 9th most common neoplasm worldwide, but the incidence of extra-nodal lymphoma is only between 3-5%. Gastrointestinal system is the most common site of such extra-nodal involvement, those arising from bone are still a rare occurrence.
Case Report
: We present atypical manifestation of diffuse large B cell lymphoma of right proximal femur in a 75 year old gentleman. He presented to the outpatients clinic with a history of gradually progressive swelling in right groin and thigh since five months. Radiographs of right hip and thigh showed intra-medullary implants in situ with near total destruction of trochanteric region. Contrast tomography scans of right hip and thigh showed a circumferential lesion from trochanter till mid-thigh involving all the compartments. The biopsy from the lesion revealed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The patient received chemotherapy and is in follow up with satisfactory response.
Conclusion
: Diffuse B cell lymphomas can be a rare diagnosis beyond 6th decade and also present with pathological fractures with minimal constitutional symptoms and a slow growing mass. Strong clinical suspicion and prompt diagnosis can be useful in instituting an early chemotherapy.
