ABSTRACT
A 67-year-old man developed swelling of the right leg with inguinal and abdominal pain over a period of 5 days. Excisional biopsy of the left supraclavicular lymph nodes revealed the diffuse, large B cell type of malignant lymphoma. After chemotherapy, he complained of a tingling sensation and weakness in the left upper extremity, and then this progressed to quadriplegia. Electrodiagnostic testing demonstrated the characteristic findings of demyelination, which was consistent with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) leading to GBS, as was observed in the present case, suggests that physicians should be aware of GBS and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as the full spectrum of these diseaseshas not been fully defined.
