Abstract

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of the central nervous system represent 1.5% of all neuraxial tumors. Intramedullary localizations are very rare. We report the case of primary intramedullary lymphoma. The patient was a 46-year-old man with no previous history of lymphoma. He was admitted to our department with walking difficulties, heaviness in all four limbs, spinal claudication, and vesico-sphincter problems such as urinary leakage, which had been present for 6 months. The examination revealed spastic tetraparesis, a quadri-pyramidal syndrome, and cervical spinal syndrome. A spinal cord MRI showed an encapsulated intramedullary tumor extending from C4 to C6. The patient underwent surgical excision, and the pathological examination concluded in favor of a small cell lymphoma type B. The patient was subsequently treated with chemotherapy and adjuvant radio therapy with good progression.
