Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a hematologic malignancy that typically presents with lymphadenopathy. We herein report a patient with HL who presented with an intramuscular mass that required differentiation from an inflammatory lesion. A 65-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of chronic and expanding tumor in her left thigh. By surgical resection, she was diagnosed with primary intramuscular, Epstein-Barr virus-positive, mixed-cellularity classic HL. She received combined modality therapy, resulting in a complete response. Primary intramuscular classic HL is extremely rare. It should be listed as a differential diagnosis of intramuscular tumors.
