Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is frequently seen in AIDS patients usually affecting the central nervous system (CNS), especially the leptomeninges and the cerebral hemispheres. The epidural involvement is rarely described, ranging from 3.5% to 8.3% among the CNS sites. The authors present a case of disseminated non Hodgkin lymphoma associated to vacuolar myelopathy in a 27 years-old male patient with AIDS emphasizing the importance of this differential diagnosis in the myelopathies of AIDS.
非霍奇金淋巴瘤在艾滋病患者中很常见,通常累及中枢神经系统(CNS),尤其是软脑膜和大脑半球。硬膜外受累很少被描述,在中枢神经系统受累部位中占3.5%至8.3%。作者报告了一例27岁男性艾滋病患者发生播散性非霍奇金淋巴瘤合并空泡性脊髓病的病例,强调了这种鉴别诊断在艾滋病脊髓病中的重要性。
