Abstract:
Adjacent calvarial hyperostosis is commonly used to aid in the radiological diagnosis of a meningioma. While occasionally reported in dural non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), adjacent calvarial hyperostosis has not been reported with systemic presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). We report the first patient with systemic HL presenting as an extra-axial mass mimicking meningioma with adjacent calvarial hyperostosis confirmed on CT scan and MRI.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...
