Abstract

Abstract : Background: Primary presentation of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) with bone and/or bone marrow involvement is a rare entity. Diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches, and follow-up strategies for these patients have not been standardized. Observation: We report a unique case of bone and bone marrow HL in an adolescent male without lymph node involvement. Conclusions: It is important to keep HL in the differential diagnosis of isolated and multifocal bone lesions. Evidence is needed to define the best management of these patients.
