Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is an unusual but increasingly frequent brain tumor being identified by neurologists.

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...

متن کاملPrimary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is characterized by extranodal malignant lymphomas arising in the brain, spinal cord, CSF, and eyes in the absence of lymphoma outside the nervous system at the time of diagnosis (Deckert & Paulus, 2007). By definition, this excludes CNS involvement of systemic lymphomas and angiotropic lymphomas (Schlegel et al., 2000). The incidence of PCNSL in ...
