"Primary" spinal intramedullary lymphomas: a review.

N W Hautzer, A Aiyesimoju, Y Robitaille

    Annals of Neurology
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Primary spinal lymphoma is rare and has a poor prognosis. Diagnosis involves spinal cord swelling and cerebrospinal fluid changes, with treatment including combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary spinal lymphoma is a rare condition with a typically poor prognosis.
    • Diagnostic challenges exist, often requiring advanced imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis.

    Observation:

    • Segmental spinal cord swelling on myelography and increased cerebrospinal fluid cellularity are key diagnostic indicators.
    • Biopsies consistently reveal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, necessitating accurate differentiation from infectious etiologies.
    • Peroxidase-antiperoxidase staining aids in distinguishing lymphomas from infections.

    Findings:

    • A case of primary spinal cord lymphoma in an immunosuppressed patient is presented, aligning with diagnostic criteria.
    • The described case was compared with existing literature on spinal lymphomas.
    • Combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy resulted in a 48-month survival for the patient.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis of primary spinal lymphoma is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
    • Multimodal treatment strategies, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, offer potential for prolonged survival.
    • Further research into diagnostic markers and therapeutic approaches for spinal lymphomas is warranted.
