Abstract

Background. Metastatic spinal lymphoma is a rare case, especially with the initial clinical manifestation of back pain, which only occurs in less than 5% of patients. We report a case of an adult male with low back pain that was found to be metastatic spinal lymphoma, and this study is the first to report a case of metastatic spinal lymphoma with initial complaints of back pain. Case presentation. A 66-year-old male presented with progressive lower extremity weakness since 2 weeks. The initial complaint was back pain since 2 months before admission. The patient had no history of previous trauma, history of hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease was also denied. The patient admitted that there was a weight loss in the last 2-3 months Radiologic examination of the lumbar spinal MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) without contrast was performed and showed an impression of bone metastasis at the corpus VL (lumbar vertebrae) 1-5, and paraspinal musculospasm. Conclusion. We report rare case of metastatic spinal lymphoma, spinal lymphoma should be considered and monitored for non-specific clinical findings that resemble other possible causes.
