Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary malignant intramedullary lymphoma is an exceptionally rare spinal cord tumor.
  • Lymphoma typically affects extraneural sites or the central nervous system extradurally.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with clinical symptoms potentially triggered by herpes zoster infection.
  • The lymphoma was localized to the cervical spinal cord, confirmed via surgical histology.
  • Comprehensive investigations ruled out disseminated lymphoma in the central nervous system or elsewhere.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed primary malignant intramedullary lymphoma.
  • Surgical intervention was crucial for diagnosis.
  • Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy resulted in the resolution of neurological deficits.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare spinal cord tumors in differential diagnoses.
  • Early detection and multimodal treatment are vital for managing intramedullary lymphoma.
  • The potential association with viral infections warrants further investigation.
