Abstract
Primary retroperitoneal non Hodgkin lymphoma is extremely rare, its diagnosis is often difficult and it may requires a time consuming and a costly diagnostic workup. We report the case of a 46-year-old patient complaining of abdominal fullness and dorsal pain, who was diagnosed with an extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as a unique and large retroperitoneal mass. The suggested diagnosis was a malignant retroperitoneal tumor and the patient underwent an excision of the tumor throw a lombotomy followed by an R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen with good outcome.
