Abstract:
One fourth of cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma were reported as extranodal type and skeletal muscle involvement rarely seen as a primary event and local dissemination. The psoas involved lesion with spine mimicking pain is caused mainly by infection rather than non-infected conditions such as tumor. We report on a rare case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurring in psoas muscle, which required differentiation from a psoas abscess.
