  • Title: Solitary skeletal lesion as the primary manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma: a case report.
    Author: Madan M, Arora R, Singh J.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 2010; 54(5 Suppl):1035-8. PubMed ID: 21053594.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissues. Cervical lymphadenopathy is the most common head and neck presentation for HL. Although uncommon, extranodal HL observed at the time of diagnosis is well documented and is typically associated with generalized disease or local spread from adjacent lymph nodes. Primary osseous HL is very rare. CASE: A 23-year-old male presented with a solitary vertebral lesion as primary manifestation of HL. CONCLUSION: HL should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of lytic lesions, especially involving the vertebrae and pelvic bones.
