Subcutaneous abdominal wall involvement in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: case report

TL;DR

This case report describes a rare instance of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma occurring in the abdominal wall subcutaneous tissue.

Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare case of DLBCL in the subcutaneous abdominal wall with detailed imaging and immunohistochemical findings.

Findings

DLBCL was found in the subcutaneous abdominal wall, an uncommon location for this lymphoma subtype.

Imaging and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of subcutaneous abdominal wall lymphoma.

This case highlights the importance of considering DLBCL in unusual anatomical locations during clinical evaluation.

Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and represents the most frequent malignant lymphoma in adults. It typically occurs in sites such as the neck, axilla, and groin; however, lymphoma originating in the abdominal wall subcutaneous tissue is relatively rare. This case report aims to present the imaging findings and immunohistochemical results of a patient with subcutaneous lymphoma located in the abdominal wall. To our knowledge, this represents a relatively rare case.
