A Huge Primary Retroperitoneal Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Retroperitoneal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is generally rare and often presents with late symptoms. A 60-year-old female presented with abdominal pain for 3 days with associated symptoms of altered bowel habits and constitutional symptoms. Physical examination was unremarkable. The blood investigations were generally within normal limits except for a 10-fold rise in serum CA-125. Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed an ill-defined lesion, with a cystic component within, at the inferior pole of the spleen. Computed tomography scan showed a large lobulated soft tissue tumour in the left retroperitoneal space with local infiltration to adjacent organs with multiple subcentimeter para-aortic and aortocaval lymph nodes. Laparotomy revealed a locally advanced retroperitoneal tumour measuring 10 x 10cm in size. The left retroperitoneal tumour was resected en-bloc with the left kidney, the spleen, the distal part of the pancreas and a part of the left diaphragm. Histopathological examination of the retroperitoneal tumour revealed a DLBCL (germinal centre type) as CD10, CD20, and BCL-6 were positive among all the markers, confirming the final diagnosis. She was started on CHOP regimen chemotherapy and is currently well. A complete en-bloc resection of the retroperitoneal lymphoma is recommended in fit patients with resectable retroperitoneal tumours. The decision between core needle biopsy and surgical resection should be made on a case-by-case basis following a multidisciplinary team approach discussion to achieve the best outcome for these patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
