Abstract
Abstract Primary precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (B-LBLL) of bone is uncommon neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of primary bone tumors. It has been commonly reported in pediatric population but is rare in adults. We present a case of a 20-year-old man with multiple osteolytic lesions as sole presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, whose diagnosis was established by bone biopsy. A peripheral blood smear and the bone marrow aspirate showed no blast cells. The patient received treatment according to BFM 99 protocol and achieved complete response confirmed by F-FDG-PET/CT.
期刊介绍：
About 30 years ago - in 1973, on the initiative of the Publishing House „Medicine and Physical Culture", namely its former director Mr. Traian Ivanov, the Ministry of Health set up and accepted to subsidize a new medical magazine that was to be published only in the English language and had to reflect the status and the achievements of the Bulgarian medical science. Thus the language barrier was overcome and stable relations were established with the international medical society, large libraries, and university centers. The famous internationally known scientist professor Assen A. Hadjiolov was elected edition-in-chief by the first editorial staff and the magazine was named Acta Medica Bulgarica.
