A review of the literature has failed to reveal similar bone involvement in leukemias in which the dominant cell is a monocyte or one of its immature forms.Numerous accounts of bone changes in leukemia have appeared in the literature. In 1878, Newman and Eisenlohr5described pathological changes in the bones in leukemia. Subsequent reports of bone changes in myelogenous and lymphatic leukemia were made by Osler,19Snelling and Brown,23Doub and...Bibliography1. BATYVOGT JMEC: Bone changes of leukemia in children, Am.
