Primary alveolar soft part sarcoma of the right femur and primary lymphoma of the left femur: A case report and literatu

[D.ap]

Abstract

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue tumor, particularly in bone, which usually affects young patients. Primary lymphoma of bone (PLB) is a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma that occurs primarily in bone. In the present report, the case of a 42-year-old woman affected by ASPS and PLB in the left and right femur, respectively, is presented. The radiological features of digital radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examination are discussed, and compared with previous findings reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first case of ASPS and PLB occurring concomitantly in a patient.
