Abstract:
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, that was first described by Stein et al. in 1985. In most cases, ALCL invades the lymph nodes, but primary extranodal lymphoma can occur in the gastrointestinal tract, skin, bone, central nervous system, and lungs. Moreover, the occurrence of primary ALCL in the skeletal muscle is extremely rare. This paper reports a case of primary ALCL involving the iliopsoas, adductor, pectineus, and obturator muscles around the left hip in a nine-year-old girl with a review of the relevant literature.
