چکیده
Purpose: To describe the long-term outcomes of 2 cases primary autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for treatment central nervous system lymphoma–ophthalmic variant (PCNSL-O) or vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL). Methods: Two and their findings were analyzed. A review histopathology, systemic treatment, multimodal ocular imaging was performed. Results: 52-year-old woman 56-year-old referred vitritis retinal lesions suspicious PCNSL-O. The initial vitreous biopsies inconclusive. Both patients had subsequent chorioretinal that confirmed diagnosis diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. No involvement found on workup. received intravitreal chemotherapy followed by ASCT, both remained in complete remission 7 8 years later. Conclusions: These show survival diagnosed with PVRL when PCNSL, is

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) treatment includes 2 phases: induction and consolidation. Induction consists of high-dose methotrexate-based polychemotherapy for most patients, with regimen and dose variations according to patient characteristics and country. Several strategies have been proposed for the consolidation phase, with whole-brain irradiation (WBRT) the most common. H...

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is an unusual but increasingly frequent brain tumor being identified by neurologists. Considerable improvements in survival have been accomplished by the addition of chemotherapy to cranial radiotherapy. In addition, many patients achieve substantial disease free survival with chemotherapy alone, and survival is superior to radiotherapy alone. Curre...

Primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL) represent a subgroup of malignancies with specific characteristics, aggressive course, and unsatisfactory outcome in contrast with other lymphomas comparable for tumour burden and/or histological type. Despite a high chemo- and radiosensitivity, remissions are frequently shortlasting, mainly because the blood brain-barrier limits the access of many drugs to the CNS...
