Neurolymphomatosis as an Initial Presentation of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Neurology India 2023
Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare clinical disease where neoplastic cells invade the cranial nerves, roots, plexus, or other peripheral nerves in patients with hematologic malignancy mainly Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma(NHL). Primary NL occurs as the first manifestation of a hematologic malignancy. We report a 68-year male who presented to us with low backache and burning paraesthesia in the back of both lower limbs followed by a left foot drop. The clinical and electrophysiological examination was suggestive of bilateral lumbosacral radiculopathy involving L2-S1 roots. Plain MRI of the lumbosacral spine was normal. F18FDG PET CT Scan revealed increased uptake in both L5 and left L3 roots. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the lumbosacral spine showed marked fusiform thickening and enhancement of both L5 and left L3 roots CT-guided Biopsy from left L5 root, lymph node, and bone marrow was suggestive of large B cell lymphoma-germinal center cell type. The diagnosis was neurolymphomatosis secondary to NHL.
