    Bone pain is the most common presenting feature of bone lymphoma. As of now, there is no report of lymphomas being developed secondarily in chronic inflammatory conditions. [ijoonline.com]

    Chronic osteomyelitis causes intermittent (months to many years) bone pain, tenderness, and draining sinuses. [merckmanuals.com]

    Symptoms include fever, chills, and bone pain; later, swelling and redness may develop around the area of infection. Diagnosis is confirmed by radionuclide bone scans. [britannica.com]

    Sequestrectomy was deferred for three months fearing the instability due to bone defect. (Fig. 3 and 4) In one year, patient was able to walk unaided, squat and sit cross legged. Knee movements were full and ankle had 10 0 restriction. [jemds.com]

Preoperative planning The Cierny-Mader classification system (see Workup ) plays an important role in guiding treatment. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In any patient with osteomyelitis like picture and bone pain refractory to medical treatment, the detailed diagnostic workup should be done, and unusual neoplasms like primary lymphoma of bone should be considered in the diagnostic armamentarium. [ijoonline.com]

Despite this fact, a CBC can be helpful to rule out other diagnoses, and thus it is an integral part of the workup. Bacterial cultures, when positive, are very helpful in the diagnosis and management of acute osteomyelitis. [hawaii.edu]

Laboratory Initial workup should include basic complete blood count, inflammatory markers, cultures, and gram stain. [healio.com]

Routine laboratory workup revealed that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 56 mm in the first hour. Hemoglobin level was 9.8 g/dL. The full blood count showed normocytic normochromic anemia, and a normal total and differential white cell count. [bone.imedpub.com]

  • Lymphocytic Infiltrate

    Histologically, there are many types of inflammatory cells in lymphoma, the most common being the T-lymphocyte infiltrate, which will obscure the lymphoma cells and gives an incorrect diagnosis of osteomyelitis. [ijoonline.com]

Successful treatment was achieved in 13 patients (86%). The mean length of treatment was 45 days. The preliminary results are comparable with other series. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
