Abstract

Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s disease occurs in 5% of all cases of Hodgkin’s disease. It occurs more commonly in male. Only 5% of all Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases develop spinal cord compression[1] and in only 0.2% cases, spinal cord compression occurs as the initial presentation[2]. So our case is rare both in the form of the unique variety of Hodgkin’s disease and also in the form of presentation.
