Massive Bone Lytic Lesion In Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Associated with Lymphoma of the Bone

Abstract

Osteoporosis in children is rare and usually secondary to an underlying disease process. Most of the reported bone fracture incidences associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia occur during the course of the chemotherapy, not at the point of the first symptoms of leukemic disease, as happened with the case presented here.
