Abstract
An 80-year-old woman sustained an injury to her left leg and presented having a compartment syndrome. Biopsy at the time of fasciotomy revealed lymphoma infiltrating the muscles of the left leg. We conclude that tumors may present as compartment syndrome and should be included with the differential diagnosis.
