Abstract
Primary #bonelymphoma depicts a 1-2% of adult #non-Hodgkinlymphomas.
We report a rare case of a single bone lesion in a 28 years old
female patient with her left femur afflicted. Our case aims to alert
physicians upon a simple gait disturbance and mild #kneepain. #Hematologicalmalignancies present a clinical spectrum of #symptomatology
which ranges from no focal skeleton lesions in #leukaemia to numerous
lytic lesions in multiple #myeloma. Reports of a primary bone lymphoma
(PBL) are rather rare, accounting for less than 1-2% of adult
non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) [1], commonly affecting mainly #femur, as
well as spine and pelvis, causing dominantly localized bone pain [2]. We
report a 28 years old female patient with NHL, presented as a single
primary bone lesion on her left femur.
