Bone Marrow Involvement in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at Diagnosis

Discordant bone marrow involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

A discordant lymphoma occurs where 2 distinct histologic subtypes coexist in at least 2 separate anatomic sites. Histologic discordance is most commonly observed between the bone marrow (BM) and lymph nodes (LNs), where typically aggressive lymphoma is found in a LN biopsy with indolent lymphoma in a BM biopsy. Although the diagnosis of discordance relied heavily on histopathology alone in the ...

Bone marrow necrosis in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Bone marrow necrosis is a rare but ominous finding in various malignant and nonmalignant disorders. It is usually a postmortem diagnosis, but with the advent of modern imaging methods and clinical suspicion, bone marrow necrosis can be diagnosed as antemortem, especially in malignant disorders. We report a 60-years old man with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with anemia and ver...
