    Author: Jonjić N, Valković T, Vujaklija DV, Ilijaš KM.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 2021 Feb; 66(1):40-45. PubMed ID: 32659181.
    Abstract:
    Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon malignancy usually limited to the lymph nodes and lymphatic system while extranodal involvement is much less common than in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The current report presents an unusual case of primary classical HL (cHL), nodular sclerosis type with mixed cellularity in buttock soft tissue of 78-year old man. Primary lymphoma of the gluteal muscle is a rare disease and primary cHL is even rarer. In addition, to this unusual extranodal presentation, the present case highlight a diagnostic challenge in fine-needle biopsy masquerading a low grade sarcoma, primarily myxoinflammatory fibrosarcoma or an inflammatory lesion. However, surgical biopsy and immunohistochemistry guided correct diagnosis that was of major interest for further successful treatment.
