چکیده
Case Report A 50-year-old, previously healthy woman was referred to the emergency unit of our institution for sudden motor aphasia resolving spontaneously in 15 minutes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed infiltrative contrast-enhancing tissue in the left temporal-insular lobe and thalamus, with surrounding edema and a mild axial median shift (Figs 1A and 1B). The tissue also infiltrated the corpus callosum with initial diffusion to the white matter of the right hemisphere. No dura mater or skull involvement was documented. MRI spectroscopy confirmed the presence of infiltrating lymphomalike tissue. Electroencephalography showed nonspecific wave slowing in the left frontotemporal region.
