title: Lymphoma of bone with initial presentation as a calvarial mass.
abstract: A 21-year-old man was examined for a right frontal skull mass that had been present for 4 months. Excision biopsy of the mass revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Subsequent studies showed right preauricular lymphadenopathy but no systemic involvement. The patient was treated with six courses of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone) with adjuvant whole brain irradiation and achieved a complete remission.
