Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed in the United States. DLBCL often presents with constitutional symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and mass. Here we report a case of asymptomatic DLBCL with a rapidly enlarging mass as the presenting symptom. Given the patient’s history of Hodgkin lymphoma, his DLBCL is likely a secondary malignancy resulting from previous chemotherapy and radiation.
