Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare, malignant, neoplastic disorder of the skeleton that accounts for less than 5% of all primary bone tumours. We present an extremely rare case of PBL mimicking a pelvic abscess around the sacroiliac joint, which has never been reported in the medical literature, and discuss learning points highlighted from this case.

Primary non-Hodgkin bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease that accounts for <2% of all lymphomas in adults. PBL can be monostotic or polyostotic, mainly causing destructive and lytic bone lesions frequently located in the femur, humerus, and pelvis. PBL is rarely considered a differential diagnosis of the osteolytic tumor. In addition, PBL is not uncommonly diagnosed with delay because patients do not experience symptoms nor show objective abnormalities in the early stage of disease. Here, we reported a 60-year-old woman with a PBL of the elbow.

Introduction: Periacetabular reconstruction after resection of primary bone tumour is a very demanding procedure. They are frequently associated with scarce functional results and a high rate of complications. We report a series of patients with periacetabular resections for primary bone tumours and reconstruction with a porous tantalum (PT) acetabular cup (AC). Materials and methods: 27 patients (median age 30 years) were included, being affected by primary bone tumours of the pelvis and treated with peri-acetabular resection and reconstruction with a PT AC. The diagnoses were 13 osteosarcomas, 7 chondrosarcomas and 7 Ewing sarcomas. Function was assessed with the Harris Hip Score and complications were classified according to Zeifang. Results: The median follow-up was 70 months. 1 patient required removal of the PT AC because of implant associated infection 55 months after surgery. There was 1 hip dislocation and no case of aseptic loosening. At final follow-up, the median HHS was 81 points (range 48–92). Conclusions: The used PT AC had good medium-term survival rates and good functional results. This technique is a viable reconstructive option after resections of periacetabular primary bone sarcomas.

Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is a common soft tissue neoplasm arising from the neural sheath of Schwann cells. However, intraosseous schwannoma is rare, accounting for less than 0.2% of primary bone tumours. Several variants of schwannoma have been reported; among them, intraosseous schwannoma with ancient change is extremely rare. This current report presents an extremely rare case of ancient intraosseous neurilemmoma. The patient presented with right elbow pain and disability. A radiolucent, well-defined, lobulated lesion with a thin sclerotic rim in the proximal ulnar metaphysis that had caused a pathological fracture was noted. The mass was surgically excised using marginal resection and bone curettage was undertaken. The bone deficit was grafted with hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate and augmented with bone cement. There were no signs of any recurrence after 3 years. This is the first case of an ancient intraosseous schwannoma of the proximal ulna. Although rare, intraosseous schwannoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of radiographically benign-appearing osseous tumours in the bone. The cement technique is recommended for the treatment of intraosseous schwannoma.
