Hodgkin's lymphoma. Coloured X-ray of the spine of a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma,a malignant (cancerous) growth of white blood cells (lymphocytes). The cancer has spread (metastasised) to one of the vertebrae (white) making it appear more dense,a condition known as ivory vertebra. Hodgkin's lymphoma is most common in young adults and those over 50. The most common symptom is swollen,non-painful lymph nodes in the upper body. Treatment is with chemotherapy,but once the cancer has spread to the bones the prognosis is poor | |
