Large B-cell lymphoma mimicking iliopsoas abscess following open revision of proximal femur infected non-union: a case report

BACKGROUND: Extranodal presentation of lymphoma is a rare occurrence. It has been postulated that chronic antigen stimulation may predispose a patient to the development of lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case report of a large extranodal B-cell lymphoma mimicking a postoperative abscess f...

description BACKGROUND: Extranodal presentation of lymphoma is a rare occurrence. It has been postulated that chronic antigen stimulation may predispose a patient to the development of lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case report of a large extranodal B-cell lymphoma mimicking a postoperative abscess following surgery for an infected proximal femur nonunion in an 80-year-old Caucasian male of Italian descent. CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights the need to consider malignancy in revision surgery, careful examination of operative specimens and the need for further understanding of the role of metal implants in chronic antigen stimulation.
