Isolated Recurrence of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Sciatic Nerve

Abstract

Sciatica is a common clinical presentation with a number of etiological factors. Many of them are innocuous like prolapsed intervertebral disc or peripheral compression in the sciatic nerve. Occasionally the cause could be of a more serious nature like a nerve sheath tumor or more infrequently, lymphomatosis. We describe recurrent lymphoma in a patient who had been in remission presented with sciatica as result of the involvement of the nerve with metastatic tumor.
