"Neurolymphomatosis/neurolymphoma and CNS lymphoma overlap when there is cranial neuropathy or cauda equina involvement, as evidenced by imaging and positive CSF cytology. However, neurolymphomatosis is sometimes strictly limited to cases where there is evidence of extradural infiltration of the affected nerves and/or neural plexuses 4, as opposed to merely intradural/leptomeningeal disease affecting the nerve roots."

"Peripheral nervous system infiltration by malignant cells in the setting of leukaemia has sometimes been grouped into the entity of neurolymphomatosis 4, while others prefer the more specific term neuroleukemiosis."
"The neuropathy may be painful (more common) or painless, and affect sensorimotor functions (most often) or be purely sensory or purely motor 4. The affected structures may include peripheral nerves (neuropathy), spinal nerve roots (radiculopathy), neural plexus (brachial or lumbosacral plexopathy), or cranial nerves (cranial neuropathy) 4."
