Primary lymphoma of bone: MRI and CT characteristics during and after successful treatment.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to describe MRI and CT characteristics of primary lymphoma of bone during and after successful treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
MRI showed a rapid decrease of tumor volume with complete disappearance of the soft-tissue component. Minor signal abnormalities of bone marrow without clinical relevance persisted for up to 2 years. CT showed bone remodeling within months with a persistent architecture similar to that of Paget's disease of the bone.
