[Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system. Review of recent literature data].
Primary CNS lymphoma is a rare entity. In the last few years, increasing numbers of reports have focused on the clinical, radiological and biological aspects of this tumor. The problem of the therapy of this particular localisation of lymphoma remains mostly unsolved. Radiotherapy still remains the standard approach. However, recent trials combining chemo and radiotherapy have shed promising light on a dark prognosis. These aspects are reviewed based on recent reports in the literature.
