This study details 14 cases of large cell lymphoma primarily presenting in bone marrow without lymphadenopathy. Most patients experienced fever and low blood counts, with poor prognosis and rapid progression, highlighting a challenging diagnostic scenario.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Large cell lymphoma can present atypically.
  • Bone marrow involvement is a critical indicator of lymphoma progression.
  • Absence of peripheral lymphadenopathy can obscure diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe clinical features of large cell lymphoma presenting solely with bone marrow involvement.
  • To analyze patient demographics, symptoms, and diagnostic challenges.
  • To investigate the immunophenotype and prognosis of this specific lymphoma presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of 14 patients.
  • Clinical data review including symptoms and physical examination findings.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis of bone marrow biopsies.

Main Results:

  • 14 cases of large cell lymphoma with initial bone marrow involvement and no peripheral lymphadenopathy identified.
  • Predominant in middle-aged/elderly males, presenting with fever and cytopenia.
  • Reactive hemophagocytic syndrome was common; prognosis was poor with short survival.

Conclusions:

  • Large cell lymphoma can present insidiously in the bone marrow without peripheral signs.
  • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial due to poor prognosis.
  • Immunophenotyping aids in classifying these challenging cases.
