ABSTRACT
Primary spinal epidural diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is rare and often easily misdiagnose. Here, we presented a case of primary spinal epidural DLBCL with paraplegia as the first manifestation. He was misdiagnosed as thoracic disc herniation and thoracic tuberculosis successively. DLBCL was confirmed after surgery ultimately. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy with R-CHOPE, the patient went back to normal life without relapse during 2-year follow-up. Primary spinal epidural lymphoma should be suspected in patients with spinal cord compression with imaging showing isointense, homogeneous extradural contiguous level compressive softtissue lesion without bony involvement and previous history of cancer.
