Clinical and imaging features of primary bone lymphoma: A pictorial essay

Abstract

Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is rare and histologically in most of the cases is non-Hodgkin. Imaging plays a crucial role in early detection, Staging and assessing response to treatment. This pictorial essay presents epidemiological, clinical and imaging features of PBL. Con- ventional radiographs can appear normal, even in the presence of a large tumour. CT is used primarily for im-age-guided biopsy. MR imaging is the method of choice for early detection. Positron emission tomography is useful for Staging and reStaging after treatment. © 2021, Zita Medical Managent. All rights reserved.
