Overview

Primary CNS lymphoma is a primary intracranial tumor usually present in those with severe immunosuppression --- commonly in those with AIDS --- and represents around 20% of all cases of lymphomas in HIV infection (other types being Burkitt's lymphoma and immunoblastic lymphoma).

History

Symptoms

  • Symptoms of primary central nervous system lymphoma are identical to the other types of brain tumors and depend on the area of the brain that is affected.[1]
  • Primary central nervous system lymphoma is multifocal (tumors in different parts of the brain)
  • Symptoms of primary nervous system lymphoma include:[1][2][3]


Primary CNS lymphoma usually presents with seizures, headache, cranial nerve findings, altered mental status, or other focal neurological deficits typical of a mass effect[4] [5]. Systemic symptoms may include fever, night sweats, or weight loss.
