<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to describe imaging findings of common and uncommon musculoskeletal manifestations, posttreatment changes, and complications of pediatric hematologic malignancies. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Many pediatric patients with leukemia and lymphoma present with or experience musculoskeletal symptoms over the course of the disease. Imaging can depict bone and soft-tissue signs of pediatric hematologic malignancies and plays an important role in the diagnosis of complications and treatment-related changes.
