Abstract A malignant lymphoma of the reticulum cell sarcoma variety developed in the right radial nerve of a 60-year-old man 3 years after he had presented with a primary malignant lymphoma of the brain. Serial evaluations and metastatic workups over several years failed to demonstrate evidence of extraneural metastasis.

Abstract A case of bilateral occipital primary reticulum cell sarcoma of the brain is reported, and the literature concerning this rare and often confusing tumor is reviewed. Gross total CO2 laser ablation of this infiltrating tumor of the right visual cortex is compared to conventional excision of the left occipital tumor in the same patient. The uniqueness of this case and the role of the CO2 laser in the total excision of such malignant tumors are emphasized.

Radial nerve palsy was induced by radial nerve compression, which was often caused by humerus bone fracture. This leads to pain, weakness, or loss of function mostly in the wrist, hand, and fingers. We reported a case of a 24-year-old male patient with complaints of swelling of the right-hand wrist joint and pain during extension and flexion while moving. He had a three-month history of mild displaced humeral shaft fracture from a traffic accident and an intramedullary Ender nailing was performed. He now has been admitted with swelling in his right wrist joint and pain while moving his hand. The case was diagnosed as Radial nerve palsy. Surgery was performed, the proximal and distal ends of the radial nerve were separated at the humeral bone's surface. The radial nerve stumps were enough long to be sutured. Our one-month follow-up shows no complications. The majority cases of radial nerve palsy will resolve within a few weeks after surgery, as our patient did, and the most prominent is patient education.

Congenital immunodeficiency predisposes patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome to lymphoreticular neoplasia. A 19-year-old boy with the syndrome has recently been reported with reticulum cell sarcoma confined to the brain, a very rare site for this neoplasm (Heidelberger, K. P., and LoGolvan, D. P., Cancer, 33:281-284, 1974). The same rare neoplasm has been observed in 13 renal-transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy (Hoover, R. N., and Fraumeni, J. F., Jr., Lancet, II:55, 1973). The patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and reticulum cell sarcoma of the brain, unlike those with ataxia-telangiectasia and lymphoma, experienced no adverse reaction to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
