The article discusses a rare case of neurolymphomatosis affecting the cauda equina, a condition characterized by the infiltration of malignant lymphoma cells in the spinal cord. The patient presented with weakness in the limbs and facial paralysis, leading to a challenging diagnostic process involving imaging studies, lumbar puncture, and laboratory tests. The diagnosis of primary neurolymphomatosis of the cauda equina is rare and poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, with treatment options including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of both. The prognosis depends on the extent of infiltration, speed of diagnosis, age, and comorbidities of the patient. [Extracted from the article]
