Peripheral T-cell lymphoma simulating Hodgkin's disease with initial bone marrow involvement. 1986

G Colon-Otero, and S P McClure, and R L Phyliky, and W L White, and P M Banks

In a patient who had fever and cytopenias but no peripheral lymphadenopathy, bone marrow biopsy revealed findings consistent with Hodgkin's disease. Subsequently lymph node biopsy specimens showed lymphoma with features more consistent with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The clinical features of this patient were those that have been ascribed to an atypical clinical form of Hodgkin's disease. This case illustrates the inadequacy of bone marrow examination as the sole criterion for establishing an initial diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease, particularly in relationship to the newly recognized pleomorphic variants of T-cell malignant lymphoma.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
