Abstract
A case of cutaneous malignant lymphoma in childhood with an interesting clinical course was reported. A 10-year-old boy visited our hospital complaining of right shoulder pain. A reddish swelling with baldness was found in the parietal region that had been injured with a thrown stone 2 years before the first visit. Left retroauricular lymphadenopathy was also noted. This had apparently one year after the head injury. Severe tenderness was seen on the right acromion, although there was no swelling nor any increase in temperature. The range of right shoulder motion was not limited.During the follow-up period, cryptogenetic arthritis was found in the left elbow, which was remarkably relieved by antibiotic therapy. Tumor formation was only recognized on the right acromion by magnetic resonance imaging. This tumor and the retroauricular lymph node were resected, and a bjopsy of the swelling in the parietal region was carried out. All three pathological specimens disclosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
