title: A rare case of primary skeletal muscle lymphoma: the value of octreotide scintigraphy.
abstract: We report a case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as a painless mass of the quadriceps femoris muscle that was detected by a somatostatin analogue (octreotide) scintigraphy. We review the few reported cases of primary muscular lymphoma and discuss the potential value of octreotide imaging as a new diagnostic tool.
