Hodgkin's disease very rarely presents clinically, initially with a paraspinal mass, but this should be considered in the differential diagnosis. A patient presenting with back pain was diagnosed to have Stage IV Hodgkin's disease. MRI revealed an extradural and intraspinal soft tissue mass with bone infiltration. The importance of MRI in the early evaluation of a paraspinal mass and in determining the extent of the disease is emphasized.
霍奇金淋巴瘤临床上很少以椎旁肿块为首发表现，但在鉴别诊断时应考虑到这种情况。一名出现背痛的患者被诊断为IV期霍奇金淋巴瘤。磁共振成像（MRI）显示硬膜外和椎管内软组织肿块伴骨质浸润。强调了MRI在早期评估椎旁肿块及确定疾病范围方面的重要性。
