title: Primary, multifocal extranodal lymphoma presenting with multiple cranial nerve palsies: an unusual presentation of an uncommon entity.
abstract: Primary lymphoma of the bone is a relatively rare entity. There are very few reported cases in literature of synchronous, multifocal Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) of the bone. Here, we report a patient with extranodal NHL of the clivus and scapula presenting with cranial nerve palsies and a scapular mass. He was treated with combination chemotherapy followed by involved field radiotherapy. At 15 months of follow-up, he is asymptomatic and in complete remission.
