Neurolymphomatosis related to direct epineural invasion of the superficial peroneal nerve from subcutaneous B-cell lymphoma

Résumé

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare complication of systemic lymphomas, and is classically related to hematogenous spread or intraneural spread of tumor cells from the leptomeninges. Here we report a case of neurolymphomatosis related to direct epineural invasion of the superficial peroneal nerve from subcutaneous localization of B-cell lymphoma. Nerve biopsy revealed striking histological features suggestive of contiguous infiltration of the superficial peroneal nerve by subcutaneous lymphoma. We think this case report sheds new light on neurolymphomatosis pathophysiology with an unreported mechanism in B-cell lymphoma. It also points out that the clinical spectrum in neurolymphomatosis is really variable, pure sensory mononeuritis being a rare presentation. Finally, our case is also strongly illustrative of the contribution of early nerve ultrasonography in the patient diagnosis and in guidance of the nerve biopsy.
