Abstract

A case report is presented. To report and discuss a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 10 different vertebrae in the spine of a 25-year-old woman. To the authors' knowledge, a case of primary bone lymphoma in several vertebrae has not been reported previously. Primary bone lymphoma was diagnosed using magnetic resonance images and biopsy of one spine lesion. There was no other localization of the lymphoma. With chemotherapeutic treatment, the lymphoma was in remission for 16 months. The patient then died of complications associated with acute lymphatic B-cell leukemia. The incidence of primary bone lymphoma in a population with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is less than 1%. A case with multiple localizations of lymphoma in the spine has never been reported before.
