Testicular lymphoma accounts for approximately 1% of all cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This distinct clinical entity can have an aggressive course with a high rate of systemic relapse. We describe a unique case of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, T-cell-rich variant with cutaneous dermatomal zosteriform recurrence presenting as neuralgia. This case represents a unique pattern of treatment failure in this aggressive extranodal lymphoma.

A 74-year-old man was hospitalized with hypoglossal nerve paralysis and severe great occipital neuralgia. Enhanced MRI of the head showed tumor on the left petrous bone, which compressed the medulla oblongata. Soluble IL-2 receptor was elevated and malignant lymphoma was clinically diagnosed. PET-CT demonstrated a single hot spot on the spleen. After radiation therapy to the lesion on the petrous bone, splenectomy was performed. Pathological findings established a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After chemotherapy consisting of rituximab and THP-COP, complete remission was achieved.

A rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia is malignant lymphoma which spread along the trigeminal nerve. We report a 79-year-old male presented with 4-month history of neuralgic pain in right cheek. He was diagnosed as classical trigeminal neuralgia. It had improved through medication of carbamazepine. Four months later, the dull pain unlike neuralgia complicated on the right cheeks, it was ineffective with the medication. Furthermore, diplopia and facial palsy as the other cranial nerve symptoms appeared. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed contrast-enhanced mass lesion extend both external pterygoid muscle and brainstem through the swelling trigeminal nerve. The patient was pathological diagnosed of diffuse large B cell lymphoma by biopsy. Malignant lymphoma should be considered in the different diagnosis of cases with a minimal single cranial nerve symptom.
