Intramedullary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the spinal cord: a case report and literature review
Abstract
We describe the case of a young man presenting with an extra-nodal, intramedullary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cervical spinal cord. This is a very uncommon presentation of this neoplasm. The patient was treated with craniospinal radiotherapy, with survival for two and a half years before death from recurrent disease. A review of the relevant literature and recommendations for treatment of future cases are discussed.
