Malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphoid proliferation. Peripheral neuropathies are observed in only 2-8% of cases.
We report a case in which cauda equina syndrome in a 29-year-old man led to the diagnosis of a painless non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the spine. Combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy produced spectacular improvement.
Infiltration of the cauda equina roots is rare in malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma and raises problems for positive diagnosis. The good outcome under treatment underlines the interest in considering this cause in disorders affecting the cauda equina, despite its rarity.
恶性非霍奇金淋巴瘤是一种淋巴组织增生性疾病。仅2% - 8%的病例会出现周围神经病变。
我们报告一例29岁男性马尾综合征病例,该病例最终诊断为脊柱无痛性非霍奇金淋巴瘤。联合化疗和放疗取得了显著疗效。
恶性非霍奇金淋巴瘤侵犯马尾神经极为罕见,给明确诊断带来困难。尽管罕见,但该病例治疗效果良好,这凸显了在马尾综合征相关疾病中考虑这一病因的重要性。
