A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) in August, 1998. A CT scan, gallium scintigraphy, gastrofiberscopy and colonofiberscopy showed no evidence of malignant lymphoma. Virus-associated HPS was suspected because of an increased titer of anti-Epstein-Barr (EB) virus antibody (EBV VCA IgG 2,560x, EBV EA IgG 40x, EBNA 20x). The HPS resolved spontaneously for 40 hospital days, but two weeks into the period of HPS remission, the patient developed pain and marked swelling of the right thigh muscle, and pectoral, biceps brachii, quadriceps femoralis and masseter muscles. Otherwise, CT scan and gallium scintigraphy showed no abnormal findings. A biopsy of the right quadriceps femoralis muscle revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with muscle infiltration. Immunohistologic examination confirmed T-cell type (CD3, CD43, CD45, CD45RO) lymphoma, and Southern blot analysis for T-cell receptor revealed a rearranged band. The lymphoma cells were negative for EBV genome monoclonality. The patient responded well to CHOP therapy and achieved a complete remission. This is considered a very rare case of T-cell lymphoma infiltrating multiple skeletal muscles following an episode of hemophagocytic syndrome.
