Abstract
We report a case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as a painless mass of the quadriceps femoris muscle that was detected by a somatostatin analogue (octreotide) scintigraphy. We review the few reported cases o f primary muscular lymphoma and discuss the potential value of octreot ide imaging as a new diagnostic tool.
