Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Primary lymphoma of the bone is the bone involvement by malignant lymphoid infiltrate without the involvement of lymph nodes or other tissues. Differential diagnoses for the primary bone lymphomas include chronic osteomyelitis, primary bone sarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, metastatic sarcomas, leukemic infiltrate and carcinoma. Lymphomas of the bone are commonly misdiagnosed as Ewing’s sarcoma. We report a case of 16 years old male, who presented with pain in the Right hip and difficulty in walking that had persisted for 2 months with no history of trauma. The patient was initially diagnosed as a case of PLB of the right acetabulum confirmed by open biopsy but the FDG-PET-CT examination was done which showed an abnormally high uptake of F-FDG in the cervical, mediastinal, retroperitoneal, iliac lymphnodal groups, skeletal system, liver and spleen and Immunohistochemistry favoured the diagnosis of Classical Hodgkins lymphoma, mixed cellularity type. He was classified as stage IV B Cell lymphoma and referred to oncology department for favour of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
