Primary Lymphoma of Bone (PLB) is a very rare neoplasm presenting most commonly with bone pain
and swelling or as an incidental finding on imaging. The median age of diagnosis is 55 years (range
50-60) with a male predominance. PLB is extremely rare in the paediatric and young adult population.
PLB diagnosis requires tissue biopsy and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is the commonest subtype.
Disease staging includes thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computed tomography scan (CT), bone
marrow biopsy and cerebrospinal fluid cytology. PLB is a rare subtype of lymphoma with a favourable
prognosis, characterized by localized disease in most cases Chemo-immunotherapy with radiotherapy
(RT) consolidation is a widely applied treatment strategy for PLB with good outcomes achieved.
