Neuroblastoma-like epidural localization in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Abstract: We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with CNS involvement confined to the epidural space causing cranial suture diastasis. Cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow were normal. Two cases only of cranial epidural lymphoma have been reported in the literature; in both cases, the leptomeninges were also involved but without suture diastasis.

“…Sutural involvement by intracranial non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has previously been documented [19]; however, to the best of our knowledge, direct extracranial extension has not been reported to date. Contrast enhanced MRI is the primary modality for investigating metastatic intracranial metastasis [20, 21]; however, definitive differentiation on MRI between CNS lymphoma and other causes of brain lesions is not possible [22]; therefore a histological diagnosis is required for confirmation.…”
