Abstract
Lymphoma is considered to be primary in bone when it arises in the med ullary cavity without concurrent regional lymph node or visceral invol vement.(1) Some of these tumors present with a large extraosseous soft tissue mass with little cortical destruction and periostial reaction on plain radiographs. This may result in a delay in the diagnosis and improper therapy.
