Abstract
A survey of the 2075 cases in the Leeds Bone Tumour Registry showed that 54 cases of Primary Lymphoma of Bone that had been registered since data collection began in 1958 (2.6% of primary bone tumours). The overall sex ratio was 1.5 males: 1 female, largely due to the preponderance of males in the under 40 age group. The age distribution was bimodal, the second peak of incidence demonstrating a significant reversal of the sex ratio with females being more commonly affected in the older group. The clinical features and radiological findings were non-specific, diagnosis relying principally on tissue histology. The overall survival at five years was 46% and was not affected by the interval from the onset of symptoms until the final diagnosis.
