Onset of primary brain T-lymphoma simulating a progressive leukoencephalopathy.
We describe the clinical, CT and MRI evolution of a patient with a primary T-lymphoma of the brain showing features similar to those of leukoencephalopathy. We report the findings that led to the cerebral biopsy performed and we discuss the striking features of this case in the light of previous reports in the literature.
