Abstract
Neurolymphomatosis, an uncommon manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is lymphomatous infiltration of peripheral nerves. We confirmed the diagnosis of neurolymphomatosis in a 75-year old woman with a history of complete remission of diffuse large B cell type lymphoma on the nasal cavity seven years ago. She complained of painful weakness of left leg and took the electrophysiologic study, extremity ultrasonography, fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT, and extremity MRI serially. She was diagnosed as neurolymphomatosis by targeted posterior tibial nerve mass biopsy.
