Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the primary bone marrow

Y. Hu, Chen, S. L., Huang, Z. X., Gao, W., and An, N., Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the primary bone marrow, vol. 14. pp. 6247-6250, 2015.

This study aimed to improve understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of primary bone marrow (PBM) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a rare illness. We report a 56-year-old man with pancytopenia and hyperbilirubinemia but without lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly. Bone marrow aspiration, flow cytometry, biopsy, and immunohistochemistry confirmed DLBCL. Two cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone were administered. Blood cell numbers and hyperbilirubinemia improved.
