Bilateral facial paralysis secondary to lymphoma.
We report a patient with bilateral facial palsy due to a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He was initially diagnosed to have a facial paralysis of unknown aetiology. Three months after this original diagnosis, he developed a non-Hodgkin lymphoma which was treated successfully with chemotherapy, and his palsy consequently returned to normal.
