Abstract :
Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the cranial vault is extremely rare. This case report
presents a 42-year-old man with a painless subcutaneous scalp mass which extended intracranially
associated with recent mild headache. Initial computed tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging revealed two lesions emanating from the skull. Biopsy revealed a
diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A thorough work-up revealed no other
point of involvement. This case is concerned about considering lymphoma in the differential
diagnosis of calvarial lesions with both intra- and extra cranial extensions but without
obvious intervening bony destruction.
