Abstract
A case of high grade B cell lymphoma presented with bone marrow necros is, followed by development of extensive marrow fibrosis, the evolutio n of which was documented by serial magnetic resonance imaging and bon e marrow trephine histology. A markedly raised anticardiolipin antibod y titre at diagnosis suggests that lymphoma associated antiphospholipi d syndrome may have contributed to the aetiology of the bone marrow ne crosis.
