A 39-year-old woman with a right frontal mass underwent a cranial bone tumor biopsy. Histopathologic examination of hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides showed spindle-shaped tumor cells in a storiform pattern, appearing somewhat like a sarcoma. However, the tumor cells were CD20-positive by immunohistochemical staining. Therefore, a diagnosis of spindle-shaped diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Sp-DLBCL) was made. There have been at least 35 cases of Sp-DLBCL documented in the literature, and most were of the germinal center type, while the present case is the first report of a vimentin-positive primary Sp-DLBCL of the skull. The DLBCL in this case was immunohistochemically stained for six representative cytokines that might give rise to fibrosis, due to the evidence of fibroblastic proliferation. The DLBCL cells were positive for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and some cells were also positive for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α. Based on these findings, it was inferred that the PDGF and TNFα produced by DLBCL cells induced fibroblastic proliferation. The resultant conspicuous fibrosis caused interfibrous impingement on the DLBCL cells, which deformed them into a spindle shape. The present case is the first reported case of a PDGF-producing Sp-DLBCL.
