Spinal cord compression is an extremely rare yet worrisome complication that may arise in individuals with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Spinal cord compression is found in roughly 0.2% of HL cases during the initial diagnosis. Considering HL as a rare but important differential diagnosis in cases of spinal cord compressionis crucial due to the potential for prolonged time-to-diagnosis, subsequent suboptimal management and poor patient outcomes.We present the case of a rare yet severe initial presentation of spinal cord compression in a patient with advanced nodular sclerosis HL.We aim to increase awareness, diagnostic work up, and optimal management of advanced HL resulting in severe spinal cord compression.
