A 58‐year‐old man with intravascular malignant lymphomatosis initially developed myeloradiculopathy without cerebral symptoms. His MRI, however, demonstrated solid, wedge‐shaped, and well‐demarcated lesions in the deep white matter and a string‐shaped lesion along with nerve fibers in the splenium of corpus callosum. A variety of cerebral symptoms manifested a month afterward. The possibility of this disease should be considered in cases of undiagnosed myeloradiculopathy with such silent brain lesions.
