Abstract
|
|
|
|
The cauda equina is a rare location for malignant tumors. This report presents a case of cauda equina lymphoma and a review of the related literature. A 67-year-old female presented with a one-month history of intractable pain in the right lower extremity. Imaging studies revealed an intradural mass at the L4-5 vertebral body level. Surgical treatment was performed for neural decompression and biopsy. The ventral branch of the right S1 nerve root was particularly affected by the tumor. Histopathologic exam confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the patient has been diagnosed as primary central nerve system lymphoma.
