Primary intramedullary spinal cord lymphoma is rare. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of this condition, emphasizing the importance of prompt evaluation for neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Primary intramedullary spinal cord lymphoma (PIMSCL) is an uncommon diagnosis.
  • It presents with progressive neurological deficits, often mimicking other spinal cord pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old female presented with a six-week history of progressive lower limb weakness and right C5 radiculalgia.
  • Clinical examination revealed a medullary syndrome and Claude-Bernard-Horner syndrome.

Findings:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) followed by dorsal myelotomy and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of PIMSCL.
  • The patient received chemotherapy and craniospinal adjuvant radiotherapy (30 Grays).

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering PIMSCL in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord lesions.

  • Multimodality treatment including chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be effective.
  • Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies for PIMSCL.
