Abstract:
Facial nerve paralysis due to the infiltration by a lymphoma is rare and the prognosis remains poor. If perineural spread and meningeosis are suspected, quick interdisciplinary diagnostic work-up is recommended. It should include magnetic resonance imaging, biopsy of the lesion, bone marrow biopsy, and lumbar puncture. Therapy should be initiated immediately.
