Lymphomatosis cerebri: a treatable cause of rapidly progressive dementia
INTRODUCTION Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a rare variant of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) pathologically characterised by diffuse cerebral infiltration of a non-cohesive mass of malignant lymphoid cells. We describe a case of rapidly progressive dementia where MRI demonstrated a diffuse leukoencephalopathy. After a series of normal investigations, brain biopsy was undertaken ...
متن کاملLymphomatosis Cerebri
Lymphomatosis cerebri is considered a diffuse form of primary central nervous system lymphoma and very rare. It is not well recognized and may be misdiagnosed with infiltrating tumors, degenerative disorders, ischemic diseases, and infectious diseases developed in the brain. Awareness of the possibility of this rare disease and early biopsy are required for differential diagnosis and preventing...
متن کاملBrain biopsy-proven intravascular lymphomatosis presenting as rapidly recurrent strokes-two case reports.
PURPOSE Intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) is rare and usually goes undiagnosed until the time of autopsy because of its protean neurological manifestations. CASE REPORT In this report, we describe two women who developed rapidly recurrent strokes within one to two months. In both cases, brain magnetic resonance imaging showed progression of bilateral cerebral infarcts, and histopathology from...
متن کاملA Case of Multicentric Gliomatosis Cerebri Diagnosed with Brain Biopsy
Glioma is a type of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor that arises from glial cells. Although gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a subtype of the CNS glioma, it is distinct from other tumors of glial origin and classified as neuroepithelial tumor of uncertain origin. Primary GC shows diffuse infiltration of neoplastic glial cells through more than two cerebral lobes or the infratentorial struc...
متن کاملA case of lymphomatosis cerebri mimicking inflammatory diseases
BACKGROUND Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a rare subtype of primary central nervous system malignant lymphoma. The typical features of this disease exhibited on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast enhancement are similar to those observed with diffuse leukoencephalopathy, mimicking white matter disorders such as encephalitis. Clinical features and examination findings that are sugg...
