Extranodal plasmablastic lymphoma presenting as conus medullaris syndrome in uncommon case of primary spinal cord lymphoma

Key Points

• Conus medullaris syndrome was diagnosed due to neurological symptoms linked to plasmablastic lymphoma.
• Imaging showed significant lesions indicative of extranodal lymphoma affecting the spinal region.
• Histological analysis confirmed the presence of plasmablastic lymphoma in the primary spinal cord area.
• Potentially rare, this case highlights the need for awareness of atypical lymphoma presentations.
