We report a unique case of de novo composite lymphoma in the tibia of a 35-year-old man who presented with increasingly frequent and intense pain in the right upper leg. He was otherwise healthy without significant medical history. A plain radiograph of the right leg showed a permeative lesion with alternating areas of radiolucency and radiodensity in the upper third of the tibia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large, heterogeneous enhancing lesion involving the medullary and cortical bone of the proximal tibia with cortical disruption and extension into the adjacent soft tissue. A biopsy showed sheets and clusters of large cells, punctuated by clusters of small, irregular lymphocytes. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemical analysis showed composite lymphoma: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with predominantly small cell morphologic features. The DLBCL expressed CD19, CD20, CD79a, CD5, CD10, CD23, CD38, CD117, bcl-2, and bcl-6, with monotypic expression of immunoglobulin kappa light chain. The T cells expressed CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7, and CD8, with partial loss of CD4. Clonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor gamma chain gene was found. Neither the large B cells nor the small T cells expressed Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA. Physical examination and radiologic studies showed no evidence of lymphadenopathy, organomegaly, or other mass lesions in the body. No peripheral lymphocytosis or bone marrow involvement was present.
