Abstract Radiographs of 992 patients with previously untreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were reviewed, and bone involvement was found in 61. Ten patients had primary lymphoma of bone and 51 patients had concomitant lymph node and/or visceral involvement or several affected bones. Roentgenographic analysis of all the bone lesions showed that osteolysis predominated, but without specific diagnostic features, and that cortical destruction and soft tissue involvement carry an adverse prognosis. Routine skeletal X-ray survey in the initial staging of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas is essential.
