“…Conversely, amongst the reported literature on PCVL, high-degrees of vascularity, with demonstrable feeding vascular branches are not described and there are no reports of confirmed sinus invasion [ 8 , 11 ]. Several reviews conflict in the predominance of osteolytic bone involvement, with some reporting it as rare and others reporting it as common as 74% [ 6 , 8 , 15 ]. In our case, there was profound bony invasion and destruction.…”

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the bone remains an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Primary lymphoma of the cranial vault is exceptionally rare. Here, we present a 62-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with the rapid growth of a left parietal scalp lesion and new-onset seizure. In addition to his imaging, which showed an extracranial, cranial, and intracranial mass with bony destruction, sagittal sinus involvement, and parenchymal invasion, his diagnostic angiogram demonstrated extensive vascular supply from both the right and left external carotid branches. Intraoperatively, we confirmed a frank invasion of the posterior sagittal sinus. After subtotal resection followed by R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone therapy, the patient continues to be disease-free at the 10-month follow-up. We report here a case of primary cranial vault lymphoma that very closely mimicked meningioma in many ways, with positive angiography and intraoperatively confirmed venous sinus invasion.

“…It's occurrence in the skull is actually the rarest to find and is seen in only 1% of primary bone lymphoma, while the femur (50%) and pelvis (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)% are the two most common sites, and others include the tibia/ fibula, humerus, spine and scapula [1,2]. Our patient was diagnosed at the age of 26, much younger than the median age of this population which was 48 years in 19 similar cases of primary bone lymphoma of the skull which we reviewed [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Primary Bone Lymphoma of the skull is extremely rare and has a variable clinical course and prognosis. We are describing a case of a 26 year old woman who presented with a 2 year history of intermittent scalp swelling and skull pain. Brain MRI showed thickening of the bilateral frontal bones and band thickening of the underlying meninges suggestive of band meningiomatosis. Patient was presumably diagnosed with a meningioma based on radiological findings and underwent resection; however, pathology was consistent with a B-cell lymphoma with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma. A PET CT scan showed sacral bone hypermetabolic lesion which was biopsied and consistent with same lymphoma features. She received chemotherapy with Rituximab and Hyper-CVAD protocol (Table 1) and had a sustained ongoing complete remission 19 months after her initial diagnosis. Several cases of primary lymphoma of the skull or cranial vault have been described in the literature, but only one other case with the same pathology of Burkitt-like lymphoma was found.
