Abstract
Initial signs of malignant lymphoma are rarely due to bone lesions. We reviewed 6 cases with early skeletal involvement, recently observed in the rheumatology and hematology departments. In 3 patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was added to traditional investigations, including radiography, radionuclide bone scan and computerized tomography. We stress the possibility of bone involvement in the clinical onset of malignant lymphoma and the usefulness of early bone assessment using MRI.
