摘要

The patient presented to the clinic with painful muscle swelling in the right lower extremity, which improved with immunosuppressive therapy. Initially, the condition was diagnosed as polymyositis but recurred soon after. After imaging and biopsy, the final diagnosis was primary skeletal muscle peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PSM-PTCL, NOS). In this report, we discuss the challenges in diagnosing and treating this aggressive malignancy and review the literature on PSM-PTCL, NOS.

Key Points

• To date, there are few reports of PSM-PTCL, NOS, and our case is the tenth.

• It is crucial to consider PSM-PTCL, NOS, when presenting with localized muscle edema and unexplained pain.

• Histopathological examination is likely the most effective method for diagnosing this rare disease.
