MR findings of primary bone lymphoma in a 15-year-old girl: emphasis on diffusion-weighted imaging

Pediatr Radiol. 2011 May;41(5):658-62. doi: 10.1007/s00247-010-1893-2. Epub 2010 Nov 13.

Abstract

We report a case of primary bone lymphoma (PBL) in a 15-year-old girl assessed by MR imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). DWI has been shown to help characterize the cellularity of solid tumors and this case correlates well with previous data.
