Se describe un caso de leucemia linfoide crónica en un paciente hombre de 75 años de edad, con afección lítica ósea seudo-mielomatosa en el cráneo, orientándose la discusión a excluir otras posibles causas de lesiones osteolíticas en el contexto clínico de la enfermedad linfoproliferativa maligna. La frecuencia real del compromiso óseo en la leucemia linfoide crónica es de cerca de 10%. Este compromiso va desde la osteoporosis generalizada hasta la presencia de erosiones óseas que, por su aspecto geográfico lacunar, parecen lesiones mielomatosas. Dada la sobreposición histopatológica de las neoplasias linfoproliferativas, a veces es difícil hacer un diagnóstico preciso de leucemia linfoide crónica, teniéndose que recurrir al aspecto clínico. El diagnóstico diferencial con otras neoplasias linfoproliferativas se fundamenta básicamente en la presencia de linfocitosis absoluta en sangre periférica de más de 10 X 109/L, con células linfoides de apariencia morfológica madura.
It was described a case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a 75 year old man, with pseudoyelomatous osteolytic lesions in the skull, excluding other potential causes of osteolytic lesions in the clinical context of malignant lymphoproliferative neoplasms. The real frecuency of osseous compromise in chronic lymphocytic leukemia is 10%. Lesions are defined as generalized osteoporosis and osteolisis with lacunar aspect, similar to myeloma lesions. Because histopathology in lymphoproliferative neoplasms may be similar, it might be difficult to diagnose chronic lymphocytic leukemia certainly, if the clinical manifestations are not considered. Difterential diagnosis with other lymphoproliferative neoplasms is based basically in absolute lymphocytosis greater than 10 X 109/L, with lymphocytes with mature appearance.
