Background:

Anaplastic large cell Ki-1 lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
ALCL predominantly affects lymph nodes, skin, and the gastrointestinal tract.
Primary bone involvement is exceptionally rare in ALCL.

Observation:

A 14-year-old boy presented with symptoms suggestive of spinal cord compression.
Diagnostic imaging revealed involvement of two thoracic vertebrae.
Biopsy confirmed the presence of anaplastic large cell Ki-1 lymphoma.

Findings:

The patient was diagnosed with primary anaplastic large cell Ki-1 lymphoma of the thoracic vertebrae.
Treatment involved a multidisciplinary approach including chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Successful management and remission were achieved.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering rare presentations of ALCL in pediatric patients.
It underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies for primary bone lymphomas.
Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of extranodal ALCL is warranted.
