Abstract

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) occurs in up to 40% of cases with an extranodal presentation. The most common site of extra nodal involvement is the gastrointestinal tract, but the disease can arise in virtually any tissue, including the testis, bone, thyroid, heart, salivary glands, tonsils, skin, liver, breast, adrenals, kidneys, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, uterine cervix, and central nervous system (Moller et al. in Br J Haematol 124:151–159, 2004). We report a case of DLBCL with two rare presentations together: heart and sacrum.
