Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is uncommon with scarce cases having involvement of the spinal cord. Cauda equina is unique in its location and shows very rare involvement by diseases pathologies. When the same occur, they pose a lot of diagnostic difficulties as the location is difficult to access with overlapping radiologic abnormalities. It is an unusual location for lymphomas to occur with only few cases reported in literature. The cauda equina lymphomas may mimic other entities which occur at that site. Histopathology is the gold standard for the same. Here, we report an unusual case of cauda equina lymphoma mimicking a myxopapillary ependymoma in a 50-year-old male.
原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤（PCNSL）并不常见，累及脊髓的病例很少。马尾在其位置上具有独特性，并且很少受到疾病病理的累及。当这种情况发生时，由于该位置难以通过影像学检查，且存在重叠的异常表现，会带来很多诊断困难。这是淋巴瘤发生的一个不寻常位置，文献中仅报道了少数病例。马尾淋巴瘤可能会模仿发生在该部位的其他疾病。组织病理学是诊断该病的金标准。在此，我们报告一例50岁男性患者，其马尾淋巴瘤表现类似黏液乳头型室管膜瘤。
