Abstract EN

Vertebra plana is a rare presentation of spinal lymphoma.

When radiological picture of a patient of paraplegia presents vertebra plana, diagnosis becomes a challenge.

In a developing country like India tuberculosis should also be a consideration.

Even histology sometimes fails to conclude a diagnosis.

Immunohistochemistry is of immense help in clinching a diagnosis.
