Extranodal presentation in lymphoproliferative disorders is a well-recognised entity. However, musculoskeletal involvement is extremely rare. We describe the case of a 64-year-old farmer who presented to us with constitutional symptoms of fever, loss of weight and loss of appetite for 2 years and physical examination revealing generalised lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly. Biopsy of an axillary lymph node showed mixed cellularity variant of
Hodgkin's lymphoma
. CT of the thorax and abdomen revealed a collection in the right psoas muscle. Guided biopsy of the psoas deposit was suggestive of
