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.
