Overview

abstract

  • PURPOSE: Accurate staging of Hodgkin's disease is essential for choosing appropriate therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A case of a 13-year-old boy with a history of Hodgkin's disease and negative iliac crest biopsies is presented. RESULTS: MRI-guided biopsy led to the accurate diagnosis of bone marrow involvement and a change in patient management. CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance imaging has the potential to detect focal marrow involvement and therefore direct biopsy site.
