MRI FINDINGS OF BONE MARROW AT THE BEGINNING OF LEUKEMIA
Abstract
Case report: Pediatric ALL/lymphoma (LBL) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder which's highly aggressive.There is an overlap between ALL and LBL which shouldn't cause delay in the diagnosis of each other.We'll describe a patient who presented with leukemia symptoms such as fever,bone pain, who didn't have obvious atypical cells in his peripheral smear,BM aspirationand involvement in scintigraphy but had diffuse bone marrow(BM)involvement in the lower extremities in his MRI. BM biopsy showed ALL/LBL.
