A mass in the buttock of a schizophrenic.
A 70-year-old man with a 10-year history of depot injections with anti-psychotic drugs for schizophrenia developed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at the injection site in the buttock. This would appear to be a unique case and lends weight to the suggestion that prolonged local antigenic stimulation may be responsible for the development of extranodal lymphomas.
