ABSTRACT
A 71-year-old man was hospitalized because of low back pain and weakness in both lower limbs. He presented with fever and stiff neck, and his cerebrospinal fluid sample contained blood. MRI revealed intramedullary and epidural hemorrhages in the spinal cord. Microhemorrhages occurred frequently in the central nervous system over a short period. A brain biopsy was performed. The diagnosis was primary lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) of the central nervous system (grade 2). As a result of lymphocytic infiltration to the vascular walls in LYG, hemorrhages occurred in multiple sites in the central nervous system. The biopsy of samples from the sites of microhemorrhages proved useful for diagnosis even in the absence of mass lesions.
