What is Total Knee Arthroplasty Complicated by Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma about?
A 74-year-old male with a prior left total knee arthroplasty presented with deformity, loosening, pain, and stiffness associated with multiple raised, erythematous, cutaneous nodules about the anterior knee. Workup was concerning for infection, but the skin nodules were atypical. The patient was sent for biopsy which revealed cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The revision surgery was delayed, and the patient underwent chemotherapy/radiation with complete resolution of his lymphoma. He then underwent a successful aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty. Proper identification and treatment of rare cutaneous skin lesions about a prior surgical site can limit morbidity and result in more desirable outcomes.
