Abstract
Primary large B-cell lymphomas involving the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are uncommon. Fewer than 20 cases of large B-cell lymphoma at the CPA have been reported worldwide. Herein, we report a rare case of B-cell lymphoma in a 67-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia and dizziness and showed a lesion involving the right CPA on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The primary diagnosis was metastatic tumor; however, postoperative pathology confirmed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The initial symptoms were resolved completely at the 2-month postoperative follow-up, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Large B-cell lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of CPA lesions.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology (IJCEP, ISSN 1936-2625) is a peer reviewed, open access online journal. It was founded in 2008 by an international group of academic pathologists and scientists who are devoted to the scientific exploration of human disease and the rapid dissemination of original data. Unlike most other open access online journals, IJCEP will keep all the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume and issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to keep our warm feelings towards an academic journal.
