Follicular Lymphoma Presenting With Symptomatic Bone Involvement: A Clinicopathologic and Molecular Analysis of 16 Cases. Mod Pathol 2024; 37:100440. [PMID: 38290600 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2024.100440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is rare and mostly represented by diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). Follicular lymphoma (FL), albeit commonly disseminating to the bone marrow, rarely presents primarily as bone lesions. Here, we studied 16 patients (12 men:4 women, median age 60 years) who presented with bone pain and/or skeletal radiologic abnormalities revealing bone FL. Lesions were multifocal in 11 patients (spine ± appendicular skeleton), and unifocal in 5 patients (femoral, tibial, or vertebral). An infiltrate of centrocytes and centroblasts (CD20+ CD5- CD10+ BCL2+ BCL6+) with abundant reactive T cells and an increased reticulin fibrosis massively replaced the marrow spaces between preserved bone trabeculae. The pattern was diffuse ± nodular, often with paratrabecular reinforcement and/or peripheral paratrabecular extension. Ki-67 was usually <15%. Two cases had necrosis. BCL2 rearrangement was demonstrated in 14 of 14 evaluable cases (with concomitant BCL6 rearrangement in one). High-throughput sequencing revealed BCL2, KMT2D, and TNFRSF14 to be the most frequently mutated genes. After staging, 5 qualified for PBL (3 limited stage) and 11 had stage IV systemic FL. All patients received rituximab ± polychemotherapy as firstline treatment, and 7 received local therapy (6 radiotherapy and 2 surgery). Three patients experienced transformation to DLBCL. At the last follow-up (15/16, median 48 months), 11 patients achieved complete remission, including all cases with PBL and most patients with limited extraosseous disease (3-year progression-free survival 71%). One patient died of unrelated cause (3-year overall survival 91%). FL may manifest as a localized or polyostotic bone disease. A minority represent PBL, whereas most reveal systemic disease.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of B-cell lymphoma. Although the multilobated subtype of DLBCL has been observed since the 1970s, little is known about the clinical significance of this unique variant in the era of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, prednisone/prednisolone (R-CHOP) therapy. In this study, the retrospective clinicopathological analysis of 312 patients diagnosed with DLBCL showed that the multilobated DLBCL group comprised 11% of the cases and was predominantly male (p = 0.027), achieved complete remission in the first therapy (p = 0.023), and exhibited germinal center B-cell phenotypes in the Hans algorithm (p = 0.025). The multilobated DLBCL groups had a better prognosis in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than the non-multilobated DLBCL group (OS, p = 0.006; PFS, p = 0.010). In the multivariate Cox regression analyses for OS, independent prognosis factors were high soluble IL-2 receptor (p = 0.025), high risk of International Prognostic Index, and multilobated morphology (p = 0.031). The most characteristic copy number gains found in more than 50% of the cases were located at 1q, 3p, 10q, 12q, and 14q. Overall, the multilobated morphology in DLBCL exhibits a good outcome in the R-CHOP era.

Abstract
Background Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the bone (PB-DLBCL) is a rare type of extra-nodal lymphoma. This study aimed to examine the clinical characteristics, outcomes, treatment modalities and risk of central nervous system relapse (CNSR) among adult Jordanian patients with PB-DLBCL. Methods This retrospective study included patients aged >16 years who were diagnosed with PB-DLBCL and treated at our hospital between 2002 and 2021. Clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, outcomes and CNSR events were extracted from the hospital’s data system and analysed. Patients were categorised into unifocal (UF) and multifocal (MF) PB-DLBCL groups according to the number of bone sites involved. The involvement of only one site was defined as UF, whereas the involvement of two or more sites was defined as MF. Results In total, 12 patients were diagnosed with PB-DLBCL. Their median age was 47.5 years (range, 17–80 years). The male:female ratio was 1:1. There were eight patients in the UF PB-DLBCL group and four in the MF PB-DLBCL group. All patients received treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone. In the UF PB-DLBCL group, the male:female ratio was 5:3, the median age was 41 years, and the follow-up duration was 9–135 (mean, 83.3) months. In the MF PB-DLBCL group, the male:female ratio was 1:3, the median age was 51.5 years, and the survival time was 3–11 (mean, 7) months. Three patients with vertebral UF PB-DLBCL underwent early vertebroplasty without complications. The most common site involved was the vertebral column. Most patients with UF PB-DLBCL achieved complete remission (CR), whereas no patients with MF PB-DLBCL achieved CR. Conclusion PB-DLBCL is rare in adult Jordanian patients. UF PB-DLBCL is more common than MF PB-DLBCL. Patients with UF PB-DLBCL had a good prognosis. Patients with MF PB-DLBCL had a high international prognostic index score, risk of CNSR and short survival time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the 5th version of the soft tissue and bone tumor classification. Based on this novel classification system, we reviewed the current knowledge on all tumor entities with spinal manifestations, their biologic behavior, and most importantly the appropriate treatment options as well as surgical approaches. METHODS All tumor entities were extracted from the WHO Soft-Tissue and Bone Tumor Classification (5th Edition). PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for the published cases of spinal tumor manifestations for each entity, and the following characteristics were extracted: Growth pattern, ability to metastasize, peak age, incidence, treatment, type of surgical resection indicated, recurrence rate, risk factors, 5-year survival rate, key molecular or genetic alterations, and possible associated tumor syndromes. Surgical treatment strategies as well as nonsurgical treatment recommendations are presented based on the biologic behavior of each lesion. RESULTS Out of 163 primary tumor entities of bone and soft tissue, 92 lesions have been reported along the spinal axis. Of these 92 entities, 54 have the potential to metastasize. The peak age ranges from conatal lesions to 72 years. For each tumor entity, we present recommended surgical treatment strategies based on the ability to locally destruct tissue, to grow, recur after resection, undergo malignant transformation as well as survival rates. In addition, potential systemic treatment recommendations for each tumor entity are outlined. CONCLUSION Based on the 5th Edition of the WHO bone and soft tumor classification, we identified 92 out of 163 tumor entities, which potentially can have spinal manifestations. Exact preoperative tissue diagnosis and interdisciplinary case discussions are crucial. Surgical resection is indicated in a significant subset of patients and has to be tailored to the specific biologic behavior of the targeted tumor entity based on the considerations outlined in detail in this article.

Abstract
Lymphoma of bone is a rare neoplasm composed of malignant lymphoid cells, producing a tumefactive lesion within bone. We report a 13-year-old male who presented with progressively increasing swellings at the right shoulder and right mid-thigh for one month. Radiological images revealed lytic destructive lesions associated with soft tissue masses in both sites and a pathological fracture on the right humerus. The patient had no significant medical history. Histological, immunohistochemical and fluorescent in-situ hybridization assessment of biopsies from the lesions confirmed the diagnosis of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone. Unfortunately, due to coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, the patient was unable to follow-up treatment and died shortly after establishment of the diagnosis. Delay in diagnosis and treatment is of serious concern when it comes to improve the prognosis of patients with this disease.

Abstract
Two forms of bone lymphomas can be distinguished: the primary bone lymphoma (PBL) and the secondary bone lymphoma (SBL). PBL is a rare disease with a good prognosis. Clinical manifestations and imaging findings are usually non-specific. Patient can present with pain, swelling of affected bone or pathologic fracture. Positron emission tomography-CT scan is a sensitive imaging modality and very useful for staging, restaging, surveillance of recurrence, and monitoring of treatment response of lymphoma. The diagnosis of PBL is often difficult and made after biopsy examination. Most patients have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Patients have been treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or combination of both. Localized disease, low IPI (International Prognostic Index) and complete remission after initial treatment were associated with a better outcome. Management of late sequelae deserves particular attention. SBL is more common than PBL; this is a disseminated lymphoma with concomitant involvement of the skeleton. We review the clinical, imaging and pathologic features of bone lymphomas; and discuss therapeutic modalities as well as prognosis of these lymphomas in the era of immunochemotherapy.

Abstract
Lymphoma is the seventh most common type of malignancy in both males and females. It may develop in any location where lymphomatous tissue exists. Although extranodal presentation in the lower limb and pelvis are uncommon, it could present with diverse manifestations. We report an unusual case of primary extranodal large B-cell lymphoma of the ankle joint initially presumed to be a chronic osteomyelitis. This case report discusses the impact of imaging studies on decision-making and highlights the need to consider malignancy in chronic infections.

Abstract
Primary Lymphoma of bone (PBL) is an uncommon extranodal tumor accounting for 1% of all malignant lymphomas. The incidence of PBL is so rare that many of its aspects remain unknown. We retrospectively analysed our data in order to know clinical characteristics and treatment outcome in Indian population in chemo-immunotherapy era. We identified 49 patients [2007-2019] (median age 52 years) of which, 35 (71.4%) were males. Nearly one-third patients (n = 18; 36.8%) were elderly (Age > 60). The most common histological subtype was DLBCL. Local pain /swelling (n = 23; 47%) and B symptoms (n = 20; 44.4%) was the most common presentation. Spine was the most frequently involved site (n = 25; 51%) followed by pelvis (n = 17; 34.7%). One third patients had poor ECOG-PS ≥ 2, (n = 16; 32.6). More than 50% of the population presented with IPI score ≥ 2 (n = 25; 55.5%). Majority of the patients presented with Ann-Arbor stage IV disease (n = 31; 63.2%). (n = 32; 71.1%) cases received chemotherapy alone and (n = 13; 28.9%) patients were treated in combination with local radiotherapy. R-CHOP was the most common treatment regimen given to patients (n = 43; 95.5%). Overall, three-fourth patients (n = 36; 80%) achieved a complete response. At a median follow-up of 45 ± 2 (range 3-144) months, 4-year OS (Overall Survival) and PFS (Progression free survival) was 83.1% and 74.5%, respectively, using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Prognostic factors for OS on multivariate analysis were ECOG-PS 0-1 [p = 0.05], age < 60 [p = 0.03] and achievement of CR [p = 0.001]. PBL in India is usually of DLBCL subtype, with spine as the most common site. It has an excellent prognosis in the R-CHOP era. Chemo-immunotherapy with 6 R-CHOP followed by addition of Radiotherapy if partial response appears to provide good outcomes. However, the exact role of radiation still needs to be confirmed.

Abstract
Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of lymphoma that exclusively affects skeletal tissue. Despite the relatively common involvement of skeletal structures as a manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), primary and exclusive involvement of the skeletal system is rare. The prevalence of PBL is estimated to be 3–7% amongst primary bone tumors and less than 2% amongst all lymphomas in adults. However, the definition of primary bone lymphoma has been inconsistent over time. Within our institution, we identified four cases of primary bone lymphoma based on diagnostic criteria formed from the general consensus of multiple organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG). Here, we discuss the distinct characteristics amongst these cases in addition to performing a systematic review of current literature regarding this lymphoproliferative entity.

Abstract
RATIONALE Primary lymphoma of the bones (PLB) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is particularly rare in children. The clinical presentation and radiological features of PLB are often nonspecific, making clinical diagnosis challenging and misdiagnosis frequent. Here, we report 2 children with PLB focusing on clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. PATIENTS CONCERNS A 9-year-old boy presented with left knee swelling and pain for 4 months after a fall. He was previously misdiagnosed with traumatic soft tissue injury. The second patient was an 11-year-old boy with a 6-month history of intermittent left knee pain. He was previously misdiagnosed with bone tuberculosis and chronic osteomyelitis. DIAGNOSES A 9-year-old boy showed an abnormal signal of the left tibia metaphysis, diaphysis, and epiphysis, and tibia with periosteal reactions and surrounding soft tissue swelling. Tumor biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed a diagnosis of B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.An 11-year-old boy showed a permeative lesion in the metaphysis and diaphysis of the left proximal tibia. Tumor biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. INTERVENTIONS Both patients were treated with 6 courses of NHL-Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster-95. OUTCOMES Both patients are in complete clinical remission with a follow-up of 27 and 18months after treatment, respectively. LESSONS PLB is a rare malignancy that is difficult to diagnose, particularly in children. Clinicians should increase the awareness of the disease and consider a differential diagnosis of bone lesions. Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy is a favorable treatment for children with PLB. Early diagnosis and active treatment can improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to analyze the clinical features of patients with bone involved lymphoma and identify the prognostic factors and to explore the optimized treatment strategy for bone involved lymphoma.A total of 1948 patients with lymphoma in our cancer center from September 2006 to October 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Among these, 109 patients with skeletal involvement in lymphoma were enrolled. According to the pathologic subtypes, the patients were divided into 3 subgroups: classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL). The clinical characteristics and overall survival (OS) of 3 groups of patients were reviewed, and the prognostic factors were analyzed.There were 9 (3 unifocal, 6 multifocal) patients with primary bone lymphoma. The 5-year OS of cHL, B-NHL, and T-NHL patients was 88.24%, 54.09%, and 61.58%, respectively. Advanced stage, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), age above 60, high International Prognostic Index score, and treatment without radiotherapy for the bone involved were significant poor prognostic factors for OS of all patients in univariate analysis. There was a trend toward better OS not only in limited-stage but also in advanced-stage patients with radiotherapy for the bone involved compared with the patients without radiotherapy. Elevated LDH level and age above 60 were the independent unfavorable prognostic factor in multivariate analysis.Elevated LDH level and age above 60 predict the poor prognosis of patients with bone involvement. The potential for long-term survival suggests that additional consolidative radiotherapy for the site of skeleton involvement may have a better chance of long-term success.

Abstract
Patients with advanced variants of Systemic Mastocytosis may develop destructive bone lesions when massive mast cell (MC) infiltrates are present. Finding of large osteolyses in indolent systemic mastocytosis, typically characterized by low MC burden, should prompt investigations for an alternative explanation.

Abstract
Existing prognostic tools for HIV + diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) fail to accurately predict patient outcomes. To develop a novel prognostic algorithm incorporating molecular tumor characteristics and HIV disease factors, we included 80 patients with HIV-related DLBCL diagnosed between 1996 and 2007. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to analyze the expression of 26 tumor markers. Clinical data were collected from medical records. Logistic regression and bootstrapping were used to select and assess stability of the prognostic model, respectively. Of the tumor markers examined, expression of cMYC, Ki 67, CD44, EBV, SKP2, BCL6, p53, CD20 and IgM were associated with two-year mortality. The final prognostic model, confirmed in bootstrapped samples, included IPI, circulating CD4 cell count, history of clinical AIDS, and expression of CD44, p53, IgM and EBV. This model incorporating HIV disease history and tumor markers, achieved better prediction for two-year mortality [AUC = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78-0.96] compared with IPI alone [AUC = 0.63 (0.51-0.75)].

Abstract
Background Skeletal involvement (SI) is observed at low prevalence in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Due to the rareness of this particular condition, prospective trials for these patients are scarce. Methods We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcome of 75 patients with DLBCL and SI in order to identify factors with prognostic impact towards progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Limited stage disease (Ann Arbor stage IE-IIE) was present in 34 patients (45%), 41 patients (55%) had advanced stage disease (Ann Arbor stage IIIE-IVE). Outcome was generally favorable for patients with DLBCL and SI with 3-year OS of 83%. The international prognostic index (IPI) was able to distinguish between different risk groups within this specific entity. Additionally, hypercalcemia showed to be a factor significantly associated with inferior survival. In regard to first-line treatment modalities, consolidative radiotherapy was positively associated with prolonged PFS and OS while intensification of chemotherapy had no significant impact. Conclusions In our cohort of patients with DLBCL and SI, high-risk IPI as well as presence of hypercalcemia were associated with inferior outcome. Consolidative radiotherapy had a positive impact on survival.

Abstract
Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is an uncommon extra nodal disease that represents about 1-3% of lymphoma cases. Imaging findings are variable and non-specific. Computed tomography may demonstrate lytic lesions with sequestra and periosteal reaction. On magnetic resonance imaging, lesions are T1WI hypointense and T2WI hyperintense, related to peritumoral edema or bone marrow replacement. Rarely lesions may have associated fibrosis and show a more hypointense signal pattern on T2WI. After administration of contrast, PBL tends to enhance avidly. We present a case of a 24 years old African American female patient with history of back pain. Initial imaging examinations showed lesions involving the T12 and T11 vertebral bodies with initial negative biopsy results. One month later, the patient returned with worsening back pain, and the follow up studies depicted collapse of the T12 vertebral body. A diagnosis of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in T12 was made. A brief review of the literature, imaging and pathological findings, and treatment options are also discussed.

Abstract
Primary bone lymphoma(PBL) is a rare disease. To assess the clinical characteristics, outcome, and prognostic factors of this entity in Chinese population, we retrospectively analyzed 61 PBL patients initially treated in our institution between 1997 and 2014. The median age was 45 years. The most common histological subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (55.7%), followed by T-cell lymphoma (18.0%). All patients underwent systemic chemotherapy as initial treatment while 24 patients (39.3%) were additionally treated with radiotherapy. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of 57 cases with completed follow-up were 52.3% and 40.1%, respectively. In further analysis of the primary bone DLBCL (PB-DLBCL) subgroup, the 5-year OS and PFS rates were 53.0% and 47.0%, and a multivariable analysis revealed that baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score and response to initial treatment (complete remission versus no complete remission) were independent prognostic factors for both OS and PFS. The proportion of T-cell lymphoma is higher in China than in western populations. High baseline ECOG scores (≥2) and unachieved CR in initial therapy were factors for poor PB-DLBCL prognosis. The role of radiotherapy and rituximab in PLB therapy remains to be confirmed in further investigation.

Abstract
Primary bone diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) is a rare DLBCL location variant. We treated 76 PB-DLBCL patients by immuno-chemotherapy, resulting in an 84% sustained complete remission rate and a 78.9% survival over a 4.7-year median follow-up period. Ann Arbor stage IV and high age-adjusted international prognostic index were predictive of adverse outcome in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis using a Cox model, only aa-IPI predicted long-term survival. While based on a limited number of cases, we suggested that radiotherapy may be useful as a consolidation modality in PB-DLBCL. We also suggested that positron emission tomography/CT scan should be interpreted with caution due to a persistent [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose [18FDG] uptake of bone lesions even after remission in some in PB-DLBCL patients. Our study based on a homogeneous cohort of PB-DLBCL patients confirmed the favorable outcome of this DLBCL variant and support the implementation of prospective clinical trials in this disease.

Abstract
Recent studies have contributed to the enhancement of clinical and molecular knowledge on bone lymphomas, a group of rare malignancies with particular characteristics. Nevertheless, several questions remain unanswered and the level of evidence supporting some diagnostic and therapeutic decisions remains low. Currently, three different forms of bone lymphomas can be distinguished: the primary bone lymphoma, consisting of a single bone lesion with or without regional lymphadenopathies; the polyostotic lymphoma, consisting of multifocal disease exclusively involving the skeleton; and the disseminated lymphoma with secondary infiltration of the skeleton. The first two forms exhibit a good prognosis, requiring treatments similar to those commonly used for nodal lymphomas of the same category, but several issues regarding the role of surgery and local control of the disease, the sequence of treatment, radiation volumes and doses, management of pathological fractures and prevention of late sequelae deserve particular attention. Due to its rarity, prospective trials exclusively focused on bone lymphomas appear unrealistic, thus, critical revision of our own experience and analyses of large cumulative series as well as molecular studies on archival cases remain valid alternatives to improve our knowledge on this obscure lymphoproliferative malignancy. The present review is based on the analysis of the largest available database of bone lymphomas established under the sponsorship of the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG) as well as on the critical revision of related literature. We provide recommendations for diagnosis, staging, treatment, and response assessment of these patients in everyday practice as well as for the management of special conditions like pathological fractures, indolent forms and central nervous system prophylaxis.

Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of bone lymphomas: focus on the clinical significance of multifocal bone involvement by primary bone large B-cell lymphomas. BMC Cancer 2014; 14:900.

Abstract
Background Malignant bone lymphoma can be classified as primary (PBL) or secondary (SBL) bone lymphoma. However, the clinico-pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of PBL versus SBL have not yet been well defined. Whether lymphoma with multifocal bone involvement should be considered as stage IV PBL or SBL still remain controversial throughout the literature. Methods In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 127 patients with bone lymphoma diagnosed from1998 to 2013 at the Moffitt Cancer Center. Patients were classified as PBL (81 cases) and SBL (46 cases) using the 2013 WHO Classification of Bone/Soft Tissue Tumors and PBL patients were further subdivided into: 1) PBL with unifocal bone disease (uPBL, 46 cases), 2) PBL with multifocal bone involvement (mPBL, 35 cases). Patient characteristics, survival, and prognostic factors were analyzed. Results Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common histological subtype in all three groups (37/46 of uPBL, 23/35 of mPBL, 23/46 of SBL). B symptoms, lymph node involvement, and bone marrow involvement were found to be more common in mPB-DLBCL and SB-DLBCL groups than in the uPB-DLBCL group. Femur was found to be the most common affected site in uPB-DLBCL patients, while spine was most commonly involved in the other two groups. Survival analysis indicated that uPBL-DLBCL patients had a significantly better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05). We also found by univariate analysis that multifocality, and stage IV were significantly poor prognostic factors for both PFS and OS in PBL patients. Using multivariate analysis, multifocality remained an independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS (P = 0.0117, RR: 3.789, 95% CI: 1.275-11.256). Conclusion Overall, our results suggest that mPBL is more similar to SBL in characteristics and survival rather than uPBL, and thus should be better classified and treated as SBL.

Primary lymphoma of the bone (PLB) primarily arising from the medullary cavity is an extremely rare entity, with only retrospective studies and sporadic cases reported in the literature. The current study presents one case of PLB treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and a review of the literature to elucidate the optimal treatment of PLB. A 73-year-old female presented with pain in the left hip that had persisted for two months. Plain X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging of the left hip showed lytic areas involving the left innominatum. Technetium-99m radionuclide imaging showed increased tracer uptake in the ilium, acetabulum and ischium. An 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG-PET-CT) scan showed high FDG uptake. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the lesion was performed, and histopathological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed a diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma. The patient received radiation therapy followed by six cycles of CHOP regimen (1,000 mg cyclophosphamide, 80 mg epirubicine and 2 mg vincristine on day one, and 100 mg prednisone on days one to five, every three weeks) and achieved a complete response, as confirmed by FDG-PET-CT. At present, the patient is in a good condition. This case is noteworthy, as it is a well-documented case in which the patient received successful treatment. This case demonstrates that PLB has an improved prognosis compared with primary lymphoma of other sites; however, combined therapy may further improve the patient outcome.

Abstract
Purpose To study clinical presentation, outcome, and the role of radiotherapy in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma and skeletal involvement treated with and without rituximab. Patients and Methods Outcome of patients with skeletal involvement was analyzed in a retrospective study of nine consecutive prospective trials of the German High-Grade Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Study Group. Results Of 3,840 patients, 292 (7.6%) had skeletal involvement. In the MabThera International Trial (MInT) for young good-prognosis patients and the Rituximab With CHOP Over 60 Years (RICOVER-60) study for elderly patients, the randomized addition of rituximab improved event-free survival (EFS; hazard ratio for MInT [HRMInT] = 0.4, P > 001; hazard ratio for RICOVER-60 [HRRICOVER-60] = 0.6, P > .001) and overall survival (OS; HRMInT = 0.4, P < .001; HRRICOVER-60 = 0.7, P = .002) in patients without skeletal involvement, but failed to improve the outcome of patients with skeletal involvement (EFS: HRMInT = 1.4, P = .444; HRRICOVER-60 = 0.8, P = .449; OS: HRMInT = 0.6, P = .449; HRRICOVER-60 = 1.0, P = .935). Skeletal involvement was associated with a worse outcome after cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) plus rituximab (HREFS = 1.5, P = .048; HROS = 1.1; P = .828), but not after CHOP without rituximab (HREFS = 0.8, P = .181; HROS = 0.7, P = .083). In contrast to rituximab, additive radiotherapy to sites of skeletal involvement was associated with a decreased risk (HREFS = 0.3, P = .001; HROS = 0.5; P = .111). Conclusion Rituximab failed to improve the outcome of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with skeletal involvement, although our data suggest a beneficial effect of radiotherapy to sites of skeletal involvement. Whether radiotherapy to sites of skeletal involvement can be spared in cases with a negative positron emission tomography after immunochemotherapy should be addressed in appropriately designed prospective trials.

Abstract
Primary bone lymphoma is a distinct clinical entity that accounts for 5% of extra-nodal lymphoma. Most patients have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and present with bone pain, a mass or both. The involvement could be in a single focus or disseminated. There are no prospective clinical studies in this disease. Patients have been treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination. There is a trend towards improved outcome with combined modality treatment and further improvement with the addition of rituximab. Assessment of response may be difficult with current imaging techniques. The prognosis of primary bone lymphoma is generally good. Here, the current evidence for the optimal treatment of primary bone lymphoma is reviewed and questions for future investigation are addressed.

Abstract
Primary lung lymphoma (PLL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare entity and the biological features, clinical presentation, prognosis markers and treatment have not been well defined. We present 82 cases of PLL-DLBCL in a uniform population and treated with conventional chemotherapy: CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin vincristine and prednisone). To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series with long term follow reported. We also performed immunohistochemical studies to determine if the cell of origin [germinal center (GC) and non-GC] have a prognostic significance. All patients were at an early stage and low-clinical risk without bulk disease and normal levels of lactic dehydrogenase and beta 2 microglobulin. Complete response was achieved in 77 cases (94%), actuarial curves at 10 years showed that event-free survival (EFS) was 90% and overall survival was 92%. Fifty-nine patients were of GC phenotype and 23 of non-GC phenotype. Complete response (93% versus 91%), EFS (91% versus 80%) and overall survival (89% versus 78%) respectively, were not statistically different. Treatment was well tolerated, and second late events have not been seen. We conclude that PLL-DLBCL is an extranodal lymphoma with a good prognosis event in patients of non-GC phenotype.
