Résumé
Neurolymphomatosis, the infiltration of the peripheral nervous system from lymphoid cells, represents an uncommon manifestation of lymphomas. We describe the challenging diagnostic work-up in a patient with neurolymphomatosis. A 58-year-old woman with previous breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with chemo- and radiation-therapy, presented with dysesthesias, neuropathic pain at left abdomen and thigh, and weakness at left lower limb 9 years after disease remission. Neurophysiology revealed left T10-L4 radiculo-plexopathy with no abnormalities at cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), nerve ultrasound, and
