Abstract
We describe a newly diagnosed case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with clinical and haematological features of bone marrow necrosis in a three-year old female who sustained a rapidly progressive and terminal course
Highlights
Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) can be seen in association with sickle cell disease due to repeated marrow infarction following sickle cell crisis with the development of avascular necrosis of the bones[1,3,11]
A three-years old female patient from Basrah, Al-Midaina, was brought to Basrah Military Hospital complaining from night fever and sweating for four weeks with frequent coughs and purulent sputum, poor appitite and weight loss
Bone marrow necrosis is an uncommon ante-mortem finding among haematological malignancies
