Unusual appearances of primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Insights
Primary central nervous system (CNS) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is rising in all patients. This study reviews common and rare radiological features of cerebral lymphoma, aiding diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Primary central nervous system (CNS) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) incidence is increasing.
- Lymphoma typically occurs near ventricular or meningeal surfaces and shows homogeneous enhancement post-contrast.
Abstract:
There is an increasing incidence of primary central nervous system (CNS) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The lymphoma commonly abuts a ventricular or meningeal surface and enhances homogeneously after injection of intravenous contrast medium. The radiological features of 39 patients with cerebral lymphoma were reviewed and five patients with less commonly observed manifestations of this disorder are presented. A differential diagnosis of lateral and third ventricular masses is given.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
