Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Usually, it presents as expanding mass in the neck or abdomen but can present in unusual ways as an extranodal disease, with multiorgan involvement. Appropriate suspicion and workup can lead to early diagnosis to initiate early treatment, but it comes with multiple challenges, in case of older frail population. Herewith, we are reporting our patient, a 63-year-old frail older woman presented as multiple cranial nerve palsy and renal impairment at presentation.
