DLBCL may present in anatypical manner, resulting in detection by alternate imaging modalities such a bone scan, which is usually not thefirst choice in the workup. We present an interesting case where a solitary osseous lesion was initially detected bybone scan with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) leading to timely diagnosis andmanagement of the patient.Keywords: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma; Bone Scan; SPECT-CT; 18F FDG PET-CT Downloads Full Text Article Published 2025-09-25 How to Cite Tabeer Sagheer, Sana Munir Gill, Muhammad Abdullah, & Mairah Razi.
