lytic lesions of the skull: a pictorial essay. Primary lymphoma of the bone, same patient shown in Fig. 11. On MRI, the lesion demonstrates low T2 signal on axial (a) and coronal (b) T2-weighted sequences and extension to the temporal fossa and to the epidural space of the middle cranial fossa. The tumour exhibits homogeneous contrast enhancement; axial T1-weighted before (c) and after (d) contrast administration

Primary
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the bone: bendamustine and rituximab are able to overcome resistant disease. Computed tomography (CT) and Positron emission tomography (PET) images at the time of diagnosis. Panel A: CT scan showing the pathological tissue of the mid-diaphysis of the left humerus infiltrating the adjacent biceps brachii muscle for a longitudinal extent of 10.5 cm and axial dimensions of up to 5.5 cm. Several lymph nodes placed in the supraclavicular (1 cm), subclavian (2 cm) and in the axilla (19 mm). Panel B: PET image at the diagnosis with FDG uptake restricted to the primary mass, sparing locoregional lymph nodes.

Primary bone (skeletal/osseous) lymphoma (PBL) is a less common manifestation of lymphoma than secondary involvement from disseminated lymphoma. It is rare, accounting for <5% of bone tumors and <1% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Terminology

PBL is defined as the presence of lymphoma isolated to one bone without distant spread for six months after diagnosis. Multifocal PBL is less common and occurs with lymphoma is confined to two or more bones, again without distant spread for six months .

Epidemiology

PBL can affect any age group, with peak incidence in (50-60) year-olds. It is rare in children <10 years old. There is a slight male predominance (M:F = 1.5:1) .

Clinical presentation

Symptoms include localized pain and swelling, B-type symptoms, pathological fractures, and cord compression.

Pathology

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype. The bony pelvis and femur are the most common locations .

Radiographic features

Plain radiograph

PBL has non-specific features and the affected bone may be normal or affected by lytic, sclerotic or mixed pattern. The most common is a lytic pattern with permeative bone destruction and a wide zone of transition .

MRI

Associated soft tissue masses are common. Bone marrow changes include :

  • T1: low signal
  • T2: high signal

Treatment and prognosis

Five-year survival rate has been reported at ~ 80%, much better than other bone tumors .

Differential diagnosis
