J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2001 Aug;71(2):243-6. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.71.2.243.

Abstract

Cerebral lymphoma is infrequent in immunocompetent patients. This tumour usually appears on CT and MRI as a single lesion or as multiple lesions with mass effect and homogeneous enhancement after contrast administration. A patient is described with a cerebral lymphoma, confirmed by histopathological examination, who presented as a progressive leukoencephalopathy.
