Abstract:
Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a rare form of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Little is known about cases of LC with spinal cord involvement. Among the 11 PCNSL patients treated in our hospital during a four-year period, we identified two cases of LC with spinal cord lesions. One showed a spinal cord lesion followed by leukoencephalopathy. The other showed a spinal cord lesion after LC. In both cases, the histopathology was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is possible that LC may affect the entire central nerve system, and tumor infiltration to the brain and spinal cord in LC may occur more frequently than has been previously considered.
