  • Title: Primary intraspinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: Case report and review of literature.
    Author: Beume LA, Wolf K, Urbach H, Klingler JH, Staszewski O, Marks R, Weiller C, Rauer S, Hosp JA.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2019 Mar; 61():262-264. PubMed ID: 30472338.
    Abstract:
    We present the unique case of an 67-year-old female patient with primary intraspinal B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without cerebral manifestation mimicking myelitis in clinical presentation and neuroradiological diagnostic. It illustrates the broad spectrum of differential diagnoses for paraplegia and the importance of rapid interdisciplinary diagnostic work-up since the neurologic status after treatment mainly depends on the delay of treatment. Review of existing literature suggests combined radio- and chemotherapy as well as high-dose intravenous methotrexate or rituximab. The rising incidence of spinal lymphomas especially in patients with acquired immunodeficiency underlines the importance of fast diagnosis and initiation of treatment of this rare entity.
