Abstract

Although primary malignant lymphoma is a rare entity in the gamut of intracranial tumors, it is more frequently seen than the secondary intracranial spread of a primary extracranial lymphoma. In general, the occurrence of lymphomas seems to be provoked by immunosuppression, as with medication (predominantly after transplantation) or with immunodepressive disease such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The usual age of onset of this disease is 55 to 65 years; and the male:female patient distribution is roughly 2:1. Characteristically, computerized tomography (CT) scans of lymphomas show a mass which is often large with regular contours, moderate mass effect, and hyper- or isodensity with marked and often homogeneous enhancement. In the series of 30 patients reported, the locations of lesions, in order of decreasing frequency, were the frontocallosal and temporal regions, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum. Multiple lesions were present in 15% of these cases (20% to 40% in the literature). The following features should raise the suspicion of intracranial lymphoma: mirror lesions of the basal ganglia, bilateral subependymal infiltration, and leptomeningeal involvement contiguous with an intracerebral mass.

Acute Hemorrhagic Leukoencephalitis

Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis is a rare form of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis characterized by acute inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that causes demyelination and bleeding. It is often fatal, although treatment with immunosuppressives and plasma exchange can be helpful. Find the latest research on acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis here.
