چکیده
UNLABELLED Primary bone lymphoma is a rare disease, and the main pathological type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The occurrence of follicular, marginal zone and lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas is rare. Vertebras are also sites that can be affected, and spinal cord compression is reported in 14% of patients with vertebral involvement. However, there is no report on primary vertebral lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with spinal cord compression. The present report presents one case of primary vertebral lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with spinal cord compression and increased serum and urine λ light chain, without an elevated heavy chain of immunoglobulin. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None declared.

Secondary osseous involvement in lymphoma is more common compared to primary bone lymphoma. The finding of osseous lesion can be incidentally discovered during the course of the disease. However, osseous metastases are infrequently silent. Detection of osseous metastases is crucial for accurate staging and optimal treatment planning of lymphoma. The aim of imaging is to identify the presence an...
