| Popis: | Rationale: The occurrence of peripheral neuropathy associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is uncommon. And autoimmunity may play an important role. We report a case of the patient with NHL, has sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy. Patient concerns: The patient presented with a 1-month history of progressive numbness at the distal extremities and motor weakness of the lower limbs. Meanwhile, patient also endorsed a painful lump on her right cheek. And then the enlarged cervical and supra clavicular lymph nodes were observed on admission. Biopsy of the lymph nodes showed NHL. Serum IgM antibodies against GM1 and GD1b were also positive. Diagnosis: Biopsy of the lymph nodes showed NHL. Serum IgM antibodies against GM1 and GD1b were also positive. Thus, the patience was diagnosed with lymphoma and sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Interventions: Patient refused the further treatment. Outcomes: After 11-month follow-up, the weakness of bilateral lower limbs worsens. Lessons: We have presented a case of NHL involving peripheral polyneuropathy with IgM antibodies against GM1 and GD1b. Patients may initially present with peripheral nerve complications or develop them during the course of lymphoma, even when in remission. This could complicate the diagnosis of peripheral polyneuropathy secondary to NHL. |
