Abstract
An unusual case of a solitary extranodal primary lymphoma of the sciatic nerve in a patient presenting with sciatica and a left footdrop is described. Magnetic resonance imaging was successful in identifying a fusiform lesion in the sciatic nerve in the left infragluteal region. Surgical exploration and biopsy confirmed this as a B cell lymphoma. An extensive metastatic work-up has not identified other sites of lymphomatous involvement.Keywords
