Abstract 

We present the case of a 66-year-old man with primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the right femur that developed following orthotopic liver transplant, while on immunosuppressive therapy. The diagnosis was suggested on the basis of the MRI findings and confirmed by open biopsy. He was treated successfully with local radiotherapy and has remained disease free for 14 months after the onset of the disease.
