摘要
BACKGROUND Primary bone lymphoma(PBL)is an uncommon extranodal disease that represents approximately 1%-3%of lymphomas.Anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK)positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma(ALCL)is an extremely rare type of PBL.The aim of this report is describe the symptoms,diagnosis,and treatment of primary bone ALK-positive ALCL.CASE SUMMARY A 66-year-old man presented to our hospital with neck and shoulder pain and intermittent fever that lasted for 1 mo.After extensive evaluation,positron emission tomography-computed tomography(CT)examination showed multiple osteolytic bone lesions without other sites lesions.CT-guided biopsy of the T10 vertebral body was performed,and the pathology results showed that neoplastic cells were positive for ALK-1,CD30,and CD3.A diagnosis of primary bone ALK positive ALCL was ultimately made.The patient was in partial response after four cycle soft cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,and prednisone chemotherapy,and we planned to repeat the biopsy and radiological examination after completion of the fifth cycle of therapy.CONCLUSION Primary bone ALK positive ALCL is a rare disease and physicians should keep in mind that ALCL can present with isolated osseous involvement without nodal involvement,and lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of primary bone lesions.
