Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We herein report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving multiple renal and bone infiltrations presenting with giant cell arteritis (GCA)-like manifestations. One month prior, the present patient had left-sided temporal headache, jaw claudication, and renal failure. The patient was diagnosed with DLBCL based on a renal biopsy. After rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone plus intrathecal methotrexate/cytarabine/prednisone and rituximab, high-dose methotrexate, and cytarabine chemotherapy, the patient's clinical manifestations improved, and complete remission was achieved. DLBCL rarely but occasionally presents with GCA-like manifestations or multiple renal and bone infiltrations, highlighting the need for prompt and aggressive combination chemotherapy.
