Objective:
To discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of primary intracranial lymphoma.
Methods:
A total of 148 cases of primary intracranial lymphoma from January 1984 to January 2000 were reviewed in our study.
Results:
Among the 148 cases, total and subtotal removal was achieved in 117 cases, partial removal in 31 cases. All the cases were treated by the radiotherapy after surgery. 44 cases combined with chemotherapy. The symptoms of patients in 112 cases (76%) were relieved and 36 cases (24%) progressed with 8 cases dead after surgery.
Conclusion:
Primary intracranial lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm. The main treatment is surgical removal combining with postoperative radiotherapy. Prognosis is poor.
