INTRODUCTION: Lymphomas of the central nervous system include primary and secondary lymphomas of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin types. For a long time central nervous system involvement during the course of systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been considered unusual, to occur late on in the disease process and usually to be located in the meninges.
CLINICAL CASE: We describe the case of a 27 year old man initially diagnosed as having a primary cerebral lymphoma after having had repeated convulsive crises. Two months later he was found to have a retroperitoneal mass. On anatomopathological study of the mass, a peripheral T lymphoma was confirmed.
CONCLUSIONS: Dissemination of systemic lymphomas to the central nervous system is usually seen in persons with advanced systemic disease. It is atypical to find a peripheral T lymphoma with initial clinical findings that were neurological, and even less frequent that these neurological findings were due to an intraparenchymatous lesion. In this article we describe a patient with these characteristics, and conclude that it is necessary to study patients with a diagnosis of primary cerebral lymphoma very fully to establish where the primary focus is.
