Abstract

Here we report magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings for a case of primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCDLBCL) located in the chest wall, a rare type of lymphoma, occurring in a 67-year-old woman. Although rare, PCDLBCL may be one of the diagnostic inclusions for a soft tissue mass in the subcutaneous layer of the trunk, especially when the mass shows hyperintensity in relation to the muscle on T2-weighted MR images and peripheral enhancement on contrast enhanced T1- weighted MR images.

이 증례보고는 67세 여자의 흉벽에서 발생한 림프종의 드문 형태인 원발성 피부 미만성 거대B세포림프종(primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma)의 MRI 소견에 관한 것이다. 비록 드문 종양이지만, 자기공명영상의 T2 강조영상에서 근육보다 고신호강도를 보이고, 조영증강 후 변연부 조영증강을 보이는 연부조직종양이 관찰될 때 원발성 피부 미만성 거대B세포림프종의 가능성을 고려하여야 할 것으로 생각한다.
