Abstract
Primary osseous Hodgkin's lymphoma is a very rare entity. Cases reported in the literature are limited with often insufficient initial exploration. We report a new case of a 24 years old patient with a diagnosis of primary osseous Hodgkin lymphoma of the lumbosacral region with extension to the soft tissues, without simultaneous lymph node involvement confirmed both by conventional and metabolic imaging. The patient received a combination chemotherapy (two courses BEACOPP(®) and four courses ABVD) followed by radiotherapy of the lombosacral region at the dose of 40Gy in 20 fractions. Fifteen months after the end of treatment, the patient was in complete remission.
