Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DBCL) is the largest subgroup of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Primary dural lymphoma, primary skull vault lymphoma, and primary sternum lymphoma are the rare lymphomas. We present the case of a 69-year-old patient with scalp, skull, and dura involvement that accompanying sternum involvement. It should be kept in mind that in the differential diagnosis of high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in patients presenting with a mass in the skull or sternum.
