A rare case of appendicular skeleton localization in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia successfully treated with salvage radiation therapy [PDF]
Bone involvements in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are considered rare events, and the English-language medical literature describes them only in sporadic case reports. Consequently, robust indications for a rational clinical management are lacking.
