Indian J Nucl Med. 2012 Jul;27(3):185-6. doi: 10.4103/0972-3919.112727.

Abstract

A 67-year-old male presented to our institute with history of paraparesis with decreased sensation and loss of bladder and bowel control. The diagnostic work up revealed an extradural mass at spinal level D7-D12. He had laminectomy and the tumor was sub totally resected. Histological examination revealed non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The patient was worked up for disease anywhere else in the body and was confirmed to have primary extradural non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
