Abstract

Musculoskeletal manifestations of lymphoma cover a broad spectrum of disease findings with varying degrees of involvement of bone and soft tissue. This pictorial essay will illustrate and review the range of manifestations of lymphoma of the musculoskeletal system. Several unique cases of soft tissue lymphoma will be included to aid with the less familiar and atypical imaging features. Knowledge of the multitude of radiographic manifestations of the disease is critical for enhanced detection, improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, and avoidance of imaging pitfalls.
