Atypical presentation of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL): a case report
Lymphomas infrequently cause peripheral nerve complications. These syndromes mostly occur by direct compression or infiltration of nerves (neurolymphomatosis), but may also be due to a remote effect as paraneoplastic syndromes, neurotoxic complications of chemotherapy, antibody-mediated or autoimmun...

| description | Lymphomas infrequently cause peripheral nerve complications. These syndromes mostly occur by direct compression or infiltration of nerves (neurolymphomatosis), but may also be due to a remote effect as paraneoplastic syndromes, neurotoxic complications of chemotherapy, antibody-mediated or autoimmune mechanisms.
We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with a complex peripheral nervous system involvement as initial manifestation of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). This case sheds light on “protean” mechanism of peripheral nerve complications during the course of NHL and related diagnostic dilemma. |
