Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Few cases of PCNSL involving bone and subcutaneous tissue invasion have been reported. Herein, we present the case of a 45-year-old man who experienced paroxysmal throbbing pain in the occipital area for more than 1 year followed by progressive dysarthria and dyspnea for more than 4 days. Craniotomy and tumor removal were performed. Operative findings showed a posterior occipital soft tumor whose cells had invaded the skull and subcutaneous tissue.
