A 59-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, recently diagnosed from a renal biopsy, presented to the emergency department with melena, dizziness, and epigastric pain. He was tachycardic and had a hemoglobin level of 6.4 g/dL. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed isolated gastric fundal varices with stigmata and no esophageal varices. Abdominal ultrasound with Doppler showed a normal-appearing liver, patent splenic vein and hepatic vasculature, and no splenic vein thrombosis. He was managed supportively and discharged. A positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan for staging later revealed extensive neoplastic involvement of the pancreas, gastrohepatic ligament, celiac trunk, and perigastric and splenic hilar regions.

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.
