| 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. |
