| Abstract | Infiltration of peripheral or cranial nerves with lymphatic cells is a rare condition that is known as neurolymphomatosis (NL). The involvement could be primary or secondary and mostly occurs in patients with a history of B-cell lymphoma. The most common peripheral nerve involved is the sciatic nerve. Patients may present with painful or painless mononeuropathy or polyneuropathy, and MRI is the perfect modality to evaluate the suspicious clinical findings that may demonstrate enlargement, thickening, and enhancement of the involved nerve or an enhancing mass lesion in the course of the nerve. Biopsy can be safely performed to confirm the diagnosis. Few articles have reported the cases of peripheral nerve involvement by lymphoma as well as MRI features of this diagnosis. In this article, we report a case of NL using MRI, ultrasound, and pathologic features and also present a brief review of relevant literature. |
