    Summary

    Electron microscopy revealed distinct cell populations in central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas. Findings suggest potential origins and diverse cellular features within these brain tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Oncology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas are aggressive neoplasms.
    • Understanding their cellular origins and ultrastructure is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ultrastructural characteristics of two CNS lymphoma cases using electron microscopy.
    • To identify distinct cell populations and their potential differentiation within CNS lymphomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Electron microscopy was employed on biopsies from a primary CNS lymphoma and a skull metastasis.
    • Detailed ultrastructural analysis was performed to characterize cellular morphology and organellae.

    Main Results:

    • The primary CNS lymphoma exhibited perivascularly arranged rounded cells lacking specialized organellae.
    • The second case (primary and metastasis) showed rounded cells with scant cytoplasm, phagocytic cells, and cells with elongated processes positive for microglia.
    • Ultrastructural examination of these processes suggested resemblance to neurites, oligodendroglia, or astrocytes.

    Conclusions:

    • CNS lymphomas display heterogeneous cellular compositions at the ultrastructural level.
    • The observed cell morphologies suggest potential differentiation towards glial lineages, including microglia, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise cell of origin and implications for CNS lymphoma biology.
