Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is one of the rare malignancies in adult. We report a 29-year-old man presented with progressive limping followed a chronic back pain. Imaging showed reduced vertebral body height and diffuse lytic skeletal infiltration. Bone marrow aspiration confirmed B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, and the patient was treated with chemotherapy.
