Abstract:
Primary lymphoma of bone (PLB) refers to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL),which is an uncommon extranodal lymphoma,accounting for 1 % of all NHL,5 % of extranodal lymphoma and 7 % of primary bone tumor. Currently,the diagnostic criteria of PLB includes a primary focus in a single bone; positive histological diagnosis; and no evidence of distant soft tissue or distant lymph node involvement. The diversity,hereditery,and lower incidence of PLB make it difficult to diagnose. In order to decrease the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis,the clinical,pathological,and imaging characteristics of PLB in this study are analyzed.
