title: Bone scan in diagnosis of lymphoma with extensive bone marrow necrosis--a case report.
abstract: Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) is a relatively uncommon clinicopathologic entity with diverse etiology. We describe a case of BMN in a 11 1/2 year old male child with an underlying non Hodgkin's lymphoma T-cell type. With the help of 99m Tc-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) bone scan we were able to find out the etiologic factor in this case.
