Abstract
Abstract: Lymphomas also refer as primary malignancy of lymphoreticular system. The lymphomas have always presented a challenge to medical science because of its high fatality rate.To identify the incidence and pattern of bone marrow involvement in Hodgkin’s and non- Hodgkin’s group of lymphoma patients.A total 40 biopsy proved cases of lymphoma with leading symptoms such as significant loss of weight in past six months (6-12% of body weight), history of fever, history of pruritus and history of night sweats were considered. All routine blood and urine investigations and bone marrow examination was conducted.Among 40 cases 4 (10%) cases showed positive bone marrow infiltration and both cases showed diffuse involvement of bone marrow.Bone marrow involvement was equally common in Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s group. In this 10% cases showed bone marrow involvement. Incidence of the bone marrow involvement was more or less similar to previous authors in Hodgkin’s group while the incidence was lower in non-Hodgkin’s group as compared to previous series.
