Description
Primary lymphoma of the sacral bone is a rare myeloproliferative disease, occurring primarily after the 4th decade of life and mainly in male patients. We reported a case of sacral bone lymphoma in a 24-year-old man with low back pain and radiculopathy. Imaging showed a sacral bone lesion which later proved to be non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma on the histopathologic study. Lymphoma of the sacral bone is chemoresponsive and carries a good prognosis. Sacral bone lymphoma should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with low back pain who do not respond to analgesic treatment.
