MALIGNANT LYMPHOMAAND CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYNEUROPATHY: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas (NHML) are characterized by malignant lymphoid proliferation which may be of B or T cell type. Peripheral nerve involvement is rarely seen in the course of NHML when compared to Hodgkin's disease. In this report, a case with B cell type NHML associated with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and without paraproteinemia was presented. Various mechanisms of peripheral neuropathies during the course of NHML were discussed.
