Resumen

La neurolinfomatosis es una entidad rara caracterizada por la presencia de linfocitos neoplásicos que infiltran las estructuras del sistema nervioso periférico. Dada su naturaleza y localización puede desarrollar una gran variedad de síntomas, suponiendo un reto diagnóstico. El tratamiento se basa en el uso de metotrexato, aunque, a día de hoy, existen diversos esquemas de quimioterapia para los pacientes con enfermedad sistémica. Presentamos el caso de un varón con neurolinfomatosis a nivel de la cauda equina y agrupamos los casos descritos hasta el momento.

Abstract

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare disorder characterised by infiltration of neoplastic lymphocytes into the peripheral nervous system. A wide variety of symptoms can manifest depending on its nature and location, making its diagnosis a real challenge. Treatment is based on methotrexate, although various chemotherapy regimens are currently available for patients with systemic disease. We present the case of a male patient with neurolymphomatosis of the cauda equina, together with a review of all cases published to date.
