An epidural location for lymphoma is observed in 0.1-6.5% of all the lymphomas. Primary spinal epidural lymphoma (PSEL) is a subset of lymphomas, where there are no other recognizable sites of lymphomas at the time of diagnosis. The incidence of this subset of lymphomas is much less. It, however, is increasingly diagnosed, due to the increased use of more sensitive imaging modalities. For the electronic search, Pubmed was used to identify journals that enlisted and enumerated PSEL from 1961 to January 2011. The following combination of terms: "primary," "spinal," "epidural," and "lymphoma" were used. The most significant articles and their bibliographies were analyzed by the authors. The symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnostic workup, histopathology, treatment, and outcome have been analyzed in a systematic manner.
在所有淋巴瘤中，硬膜外淋巴瘤的发生率为0.1%至6.5%。原发性脊柱硬膜外淋巴瘤（PSEL）是淋巴瘤的一个子集，在诊断时没有其他可识别的淋巴瘤部位。这种淋巴瘤子集的发病率要低得多。然而，由于越来越多地使用更敏感的成像方式，其诊断率也在不断提高。为了进行电子检索，使用PubMed来识别1961年至2011年1月期间收录并列举PSEL的期刊。使用了以下术语组合：“原发性”、“脊柱”、“硬膜外”和“淋巴瘤”。作者分析了最重要的文章及其参考文献。对症状、发病机制、诊断检查、组织病理学、治疗和结果进行了系统分析。
