We report a 25-year-old lady presenting to the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital with spinal cord compression. Initially we had a diagnostic difficulty, as its presentation was perplexing. Finally we pointed towards the diagnosis of non- Hodgkin's lymphoma and proved it. This article carries a message for the clinicians as clinical fallacies were noticed towards pointing this diagnosis. We have clearly explained the shortcomings in evaluating a case making a diagnosis towards non- Hodgkin's lymphoma and spinal cord compression, as many situations in the setting were simulating and overlapping.

PlumX Metrics  provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
