Abstract

Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequently occurring type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Primary extra nodal Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (PE-DLBCL) originating in the bone, specifically the thoracic spine, is rare. We describe the case of a 69-year-old male who presented to our facility with back pain and acute bilateral lower extremity paraplegia as Primary extra nodal Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.
