| Core Tip |
Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is an uncommon extranodal disease that represents approximately 1%-3% of lymphomas. Among PBLs, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common pathological type, accounting for approximately 70%-80% of all PBLs. The anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) subtype of PBL is extremely rare, and it therefore remains unclear whether it is similar to ALCL in general or whether it is a subtype with unique clinical biological characteristics. Furthermore, the prognostic impact of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) expression in ALCL with primary bone lesions is still under debate. Herein, we report one rare case of primary bone ALK positive ALCL in a 66-year-old male. This suggested that physicians should keep in mind that ALCL can present with isolated osseous involvement without nodal involvement, and lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of primary bone lesions. |
