Abstract
Osteolytic lesions are rare in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and thought to result from Richter's transformation or metastatic disease from nonlymphoid malignancies. We report a patient who presented with a large femoral metastatic lesion and hypercalcaemia caused by CLL itself. Complete remission of CLL with resolution of the osteolytic lesion was achieved with rituximab and cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, oncovin and prednisolone [CHOP (R-CHOP)] combination chemotherapy.Entities:
