ABSTRACT
A 35-year-old female developed cervical adenopathy and mediastinal tumor in 1988. A lymph node biopsy specimen showed nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. She received combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and prednisolone, and radiotherapy for mediastinal tumor. She had a complete remission (CR). In September 1990, she developed swelling of the left hip and felt pain in the left hip and thigh. She also noticed swelling of the left inguinal lymph nodes. MRI T2-weighted images showed enlargement and destruction of the fascia and hyperintense signal of the left iliac and gluteus muscle. A biopsy specimen of the inguinal lymph node showed recurrence of Hodgkin's disease of mixed cellularity. She received salvage therapy with ifosfamide, methotrexate, etoposide and procarbazine, and achieved a second CR. The clinical appearance of the skeletal muscle involvement by lymphoma is uncommon, especially in Hodgkin's disease.
