title: Primary lymphoma of bone presenting as spindle cell neoplasm of the vertebral body: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Spindle cell variant of lymphoma is a very rare but known disease entity that can mimic a sarcoma. Diagnosis can be even more challenging if the only site of the disease is in the bone. We report a case of primary lymphoma of bone with spindle cell morphology which was successfully treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
