Primary Skeletal Muscle Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma: An Autopsy Case Report and Review of the Literature

Primary skeletal muscle lymphoma is extremely uncommon, and there have only been eight previous case reports on primary skeletal muscle peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PSM-PTCL, NOS). We herein report an autopsy case of a 71-year-old woman with PSM-PTCL, NOS, who had a 24-year history of systemic sclerosis treated with immunosuppressive drugs. A post-mortem examination revealed infiltration of lymphoma cells positive for T-cell markers, cytotoxic markers, and p53. This case was considered to be one of other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (OIIA-LPD). This is the first case categorized under both PSM-PTCL, NOS, and OIIA-LPD.
