Neurolymphomatosis in a patient with T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Neurolymphomatosis, defined as a selective infiltration of lymphoma cells into cranial nerves, peripheral nerves and nerve roots, is a rarely recognized manifestation of lymphoma. Its characteristic symptoms are often overlooked or mistaken for other conditions, such as a peripheral polyneuropathy, due to chemotherapeutic agents or clinical findings of metastatic lesions in the central nervous system. Recently, neurolymphomatosis has been increasingly recognized using magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography-computed tomography. We present a case of neurolymphomatosis manifesting as peripheral mononeuropathy in a patient with T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
