[Primary cervical epidural low-grade non-hodgkin's lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature].
Primary epidural cervical non-hodgkin's low-grade lymphomas is exceptional. We report a 43-year-old woman admitted for a total functional disability of the four limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cervical epidural mass C2-C3. A laminectomy was performed. The histological study revealed a small cells lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There was a favourable evolution. She is in complete remission with a follow-up of two years. We review literature to describe epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features with evolutive aspects in primary epidural non-hodgkin's lymphomas.
