    A rare case highlights the diagnostic challenges in differentiating primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma from multiple sclerosis (MS) due to overlapping symptoms. Postmortem findings confirmed both conditions, emphasizing the need for careful clinical evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuro-oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS).
    • Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma confined to the brain, spinal cord, meninges, or eyes without systemic involvement at diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with multifocal neurologic disease mimicking multiple sclerosis (MS), with an unusual predominance of cognitive dysfunction.
    • Rapid clinical deterioration and radiographic findings necessitated surgical intervention, revealing disseminated leptomeningeal tumor.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) was confirmed postmortem.
    • Classical pathological findings of multiple sclerosis (MS) were also observed concurrently.

  • This case underscores the diagnostic difficulties in distinguishing PCNSL from MS based on clinical presentation alone.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering PCNSL in the differential diagnosis of MS, especially with atypical presentations or rapid progression.
    • Suggests that advanced imaging and potentially biopsy are crucial for accurate diagnosis when clinical suspicion is high.
    • Emphasizes the need for further research into early diagnostic markers for both conditions to improve patient outcomes.
