| Popis: | Primary spinal intradural extramedullary lymphoma remains a very rare entity in spinal oncology. In this case report, we present the first treatment of a PSIEL diagnosed by cytopathologic analysis alone followed by urgent radio- and chemotherapy in the literature. At 18-month follow-up, our patient was ambulatory with near total imaging resolution of the lesion. In conclusion, surgical excision or biopsy may not be necessary when suspicion for PSIEL exists, and may delay prompt medical and radiation treatment due to necessity for wound healing. Further research into the management of extramedullary lymphoma treatment strategies is warranted. |
