Primary bone non-hodgkin lymphoma of the cervical spine. case report and review.

Abstract: Primary bone lymphomas (PBL) account for approximately 3% of all malignant tumors and are commonly found in the femur or pelvis. Only 1.7% of the PBLs are found in the spine. We report the case of a 73-year-old male complaining of cervical pain with progressive loss of strength and frequent falls. The MRI showed invasion of the fourth cervical vertebra and an infiltrating prevertebral mass. A C4 corpectomy was performed. The pathology exam revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Due to the previous condition… Show more

“…However, currently, there is a prevalent agreement that it can be considered PBL when primary involvement site of bone with no evidence of extrabone lesions or any other extrabone lesions 6 months after bone lesion is diagnosed by both pathological morphology and immunohistochemistry. [4] Non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounts for up to 94% of the PBL [6] ; almost all cases are diffused large B-cell lymphoma among them. [3] The mechanism of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not definite in clinic.…”

“…[3] It is mostly located in femur or pelvis (50%), long bones of upper limbs (20%), and it can also occur in other locations such as ribs, mandible, or scapula (30%). [4] The most common symptoms of PBL are pain and swelling of affected bone. PBL is extremely uncommon in children, with few cases reported in literature.…”

“…3 These percentages reflect the general low incidence of primary bone lymphomas (5% out of all extranodal NHL and 2% out of all lymphomas). 5,6 Lymphoma of the jaw does not have any specific clinical and radiological features; it often appears as an odontogenic process, thus delaying the diagnosis.…”
