Primary low grade central nervous system lymphoma is a rare entity, with the majority being intracranial marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Primary spinal lymphoma is unusual, and commonly presents as an epidural lesion with diffuse large B-cell histology, as described in prior literature. We present a case of a 56 year-old woman diagnosed with a primary intradural spinal lymphoma two years after a posterior cervical fusion at the same level. She was treated successfully with surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature describing an intradural primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the spine. |
