A five-year experience with central nervous system lymphoma.
The experience with central nervous system (CNS) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at a 700-bed teaching hospital over five years (1979-1983) is reported. During this period 222 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were seen. Ten new cases (eight patients with secondary and two patients with primary CNS lymphoma) were diagnosed during this period, representing an overall incidence of 4.5%. The clinical, pathological and neuroradiological findings of this group are described with special emphasis on the varied appearances that were found on computer-assisted tomographic scans.
