Retroperitoneal Sarcomatoid Variant of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report
Issue: Vol.8, No.4 - October 2009
Article Type: Manuscript
Extra-nodal, extra-cutaneous, and retroperitoneal spindle cell B cell lymphoma is a rare lesion, potentially to be misdiagnosed as a sarcoma. We describe a 65 year old man who presented with a retroperitoneal tumour mass, clinically suspected to be a sarcoma, also with a histologic sarcomatoid appearance on morphology and CD79a+, CD20+, MUM1+, bcl6+ immunophenotype. In contrast to other reports, the immunohistochemical analysis indicated a spindle cell B cell lymphoma of non-germinal centre origin with normal lactate dehydrogenase level and good response to therapy.
