A unique presentation of an osteolytic chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma as a helmet-shaped tumor
Striking CVL presentations like the extensive permeative dissolution of the whole cranium rarely occur, especially in otherwise indolent types of NHL. Nevertheless, full bone regeneration and recovery are possible with modern treatment options, given adequate analysis is obtained beforehand. In case of a discrepancy between core-needle biopsy or fine-needle aspiration findings and the clinical picture, a surgical biopsy is warranted.
