title: Primary Hodgkin's disease of the bone presenting with an extradural tumor.
abstract: We report a very rare case of primary Hodgkin's disease of the bone in a 56-year-old male. It presented with sudden onset of paraparesis which suggested an extradural tumor. Early appropriate therapy for similar patients with Hodgkin's disease can improve their prognosis.
