title: Fatal peripheral T-cell lymphoma following intramuscular tuberculosis of the forearm.
abstract: Intramuscular tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease, and lymphoma may occur following a bout of TB. We report on an unusual presentation of peripheral T-cell lymphoma that occurred after an infiltrative lesion of intramuscular TB of the forearm in an immunocompetent host. To our knowledge, this is the first case where TB of a muscle presenting as an infiltrative lesion instead of an abscess developed into peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
