Lymphomatosis 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 کاملLymphomatosis cerebri with intramedullary spinal cord involvement.
Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a rare form of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Little is known about cases of LC with spinal cord involvement. Among the 11 PCNSL patients treated in our hospital during a four-year period, we identified two cases of LC with spinal cord lesions. One showed a spinal cord lesion followed by leukoencephalopathy.

A 29-year-old immunocompetent woman was admitted in 2006 with ataxia, limb weakness, generalized dystonia, and vertical diplopia that developed after a febrile episode. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the presence of extensive periventricular white matter lesions that did not enhance after gadolinium injection. As low titers of cytomegalovirus-IgM antibodies were found in the se...
متن کاملEvolution of Neurolymphomatosis to Lymphomatosis Cerebri
Dear Editor, Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), which is typically of B-cell lymphocytic origin, normally remains confined to the brain, spinal cord, and/or eyes, rarely spreading outside the nervous system. The appearance of a homogeneously enhancing periventricular rounded mass in MRI is suggestive of the diagnosis in an immunocompetent host. The case reported here illustrates a...
متن کاملLymphomatosis 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 ...
