[Three decades ago, LAM was launched with the goal of providing scientific information about medicine and its frontiers. From the very beginning, LAM has also concerned a special subject area while connecting medicine with the world of art. In the palette of medical articles, it remained a special feature to this day. The analysis of the history of LAM to date was performed using internationally accepted publication guidelines and scientific databases as a pledge of objectivity. We examined the practice of LAM if it meets the main criteria, the professional expectations of our days, when publishing contents of the traditional printed edition and its electronic version. We explored the visibility of articles in the largest bibliographic and scientific metric databases, and reviewed the LAM's place among the Hun­ga­rian professional journals. Our results show that in recent years LAM has gained international reputation des­pite publishing in Hungarian spoken by a few people. This is due to articles with foreign co-authors as well as references to LAM in articles written exclusively by foreign researchers. The journal is of course full readable in the Hungarian bibliographic databases, and its popularity is among the leading ones. The great virtue of the journal is the wide spectrum of the authors' affiliation, with which they cover almost completely the Hungarian health care institutional sys­tem. The special feature of its columns is enhanced by the publication of writings on art, which may increase Hungarian and foreign interest like that of medical articles.]

[Background - In this paper, we report a coexistence of multiple sclerosis and an intradural spinal cord tumor. Case report - A 34-year-old woman who had a history of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis for the last 15-years presented with acute sensory loss and spasticity in her left lower limb and her spinal magnetic resonance imaging study revealed an intradural spinal cord tumor in the lumbar spine, further diagnosed as ependymoma. Conclusion - We call attention to this rare association of MS and a spinal cord tumor, emphasizing the need for investigation of new symptoms during the evolution of MS.]
