Primary bony anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is quite rare in children but potentially life-threatening lymphoma. Such disease is challenging and often carries a poor prognosis. Here, we report a patient who presented with an aggressive bony lymphoma and failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy; however, he had a robust response to valproic acid, which changed his status from hopeless palliative case to a success story and allowed him to complete his intended chemotherapy protocol.
