Abstract

A 50-year-old female patient admitted to our hospital with increasing back pain, weakness in the legs, walking and urinating disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, and there was a solid lesion in the right side of the T7 and T8 segments of spinal cord, measuring 20×6 mm, located intramedullary. Lesion was isointense on T1-weighted images (WI), hyperintense on T2-WI, and there was homogeneous enhancement on T1-weighted contrast-enhanced series (Figure). Patient underwent surgical operation, and lesion confirmed histopathologically as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The probability of secondary lymphoma involving the spinal cord was excluded with abdominal and chest tomography.
