Primary intracerebral lymphoma: Case report

Burada magnetic rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları ile yüksek dereceli glioma ile karışabilecek olan bir primer merkezi sinir sistemi lenfoması (PMSL) sunuyoruz. Primer merkezi sinir sistemi lenfoması nadir bir tümördür ve intracranial tümörlerin % 0.3-3ünü oluşturur. Altmış bir yaşında kadın hasta kliniğimize ciddi baş ağrısı, kusma, sol hemiparezi ve geçici bilinç kaybı ile getirildi. Primer merkezi sinir sistemi lenfoması çeşitli biyolojik ve radyolojik özellikler gösterebilir. Burada PMSLnin MRG bulgularının yüksek dereceli glioma ile karışmasını vurguladık.

Primer intraserebral lenfoma: Olgu sunumu

We describe a case of primary central nervous lymphoma (PCNSL) that may be confused with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of high grade glioma. Primary central nervous lymphoma is a rare tumour and it account for 0.3-3% of intracranial tumours. A 61 year s old woman was admitted to our clinic with a severe headache, vomiting, left hemiparesia and transient loss of consciousness. Primary central nervous lymphoma may show various biological and radiological characteristics. We herein emphasized being confused with MRI findings of PCNSL and high grade glioma.
