In the literature, there is no evidence of relationship between primary bone lymphoma and osteochondroma or of coexistence of both of them in a single bone. The present report describes an uncommon case of primary bone lymphoma occurring simultaneously with osteochondroma in the proximal third of the tibia. In the present case, magnetic resonance imaging signs simulated the presence of sarcomatous degeneration.
Keywords: Primary bone lymphoma; Osteochondroma; Sarcomatous degeneration; Bone tumors.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare benign disease (incidence 1:1,000,000), characterized by an osteochondral overgrowth affecting one or more epiphyses. Generally, the age of onset is between two and 14 years. The characteristic imaging findings are sufficient for the diagnosis. Surgical excision of the lesion is only indicated in cases where a functional limitation is present.
