Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a cancer which is characterised by the presence of Reed-Sternberg (RS) and Hodgkin’s cells in the cancerous infiltrations. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma in adults, and it belongs to a group of lymphomas which are extremely aggressive and require immediate treatment implementation. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma who underwent megachemotherapy supported by allogeneic transplantation of haematopoietic stem cells as the second-line treatment. However, three years after the transplantation, the patient was diagnosed with DLBCL, which was originally found in bones. It is a very rare location of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. The rarity of the presence of lymphomas in bones, as well as the diversity of the clinical course of the disease, makes it difficult to establish the rules of treatment.
