Radiologic case study. Primary lymphoma of bone.
Distinguishing primary lymphoma of bone from disseminated lymphoma and similar appearing bone malignancies is important because of its better prognosis. It is also important to remember how indolent the process can be even in the face of massive bone involvement. Early recognition of this rare entity can increase patient survival.
