conclusion:
In brief, our case illustrates the difficulties in distinguishing
primary bone lymphoma from osteomyelitis as both have similar
presentations, while the radiologic findings can overlap and mimic one
another.
Our experience with this case emphasizes the fact that for an accurate
diagnosis while the clinical manifestations and Para clinical findings
are suggestive for malignancies and tumors, in this case, lymphoma, and
the results from core needle biopsy are incoherent, open biopsy is to be
considered.
