Cerebral lymphoma: clinical radiological correlation

J A Spillane, B E Kendall, I F Moseley

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |March 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Primary brain lymphoma often affects deep brain structures and can be multifocal. Early diagnosis with CT scans is crucial to identify this radiosensitive tumor and avoid misdiagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Primary malignant lymphoma of the brain is a rare central nervous system tumor.
    • Understanding its imaging characteristics is vital for timely diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • Twenty patients with primary brain lymphoma were analyzed.
    • Tumor characteristics included deep central involvement, subependymal spread, and a 30% incidence of multifocal disease.
    • Clinical presentation often involves mental changes, somnolence, and headache.

    Findings:

    • Solitary lymphomas may mimic meningioma on CT scans.
    • Multifocal disease is frequently misdiagnosed as metastases.
    • Computed tomography (CT) aids in identifying brain lymphoma characteristics.

    Implications:

    • Improved CT interpretation can reduce misdiagnosis rates for primary brain lymphoma.
    • Early detection facilitates prompt treatment of this potentially radiosensitive malignancy.
    • Accurate diagnosis avoids delays in managing central nervous system lymphomas.
