چکیده
Primary extranodal lymphoma is a common malignant tumor of head and neck but rarely presents in lateral skull base.

She has experienced an acute course of continuously trigeminal neuralgia and Horner's syndrome. The lesion was diagnosed as trigeminal schwannoma based on symptom and medical image before operation then confirmed to be DLBCL pathologically.
