Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma presenting as Garcin's Syndrome. 2011

D Hammond, and K Rehman, and N Grew
New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, UK.

An 80 year old man presented with a twelve month history of progressive multiple unilateral cranial nerve palsies. A gadolinium enhanced MRI scan of his head and neck was performed. This showed an extra-axial enhancing lesion, which enveloped the hemi-mandible at the level of the left inferior alveolar nerve, and a dumbbell shaped lesion within the cerebellopontine angle. An incisional biopsy was performed to gain a tissue diagnosis, which demonstrated a Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The combination of signs, symptoms and radiological findings enabled a diagnosis of Garcin's Syndrome secondary to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
