Lymphomatoid granulomatosis with isolated involvement of the brain.
A patient with biopsy-proven lymphomatoid granulomatosis of the brain as the sole manifestation of the disease is described. During 14 months of follow-up since surgical excision of the cerebral mass, no evidence of recurrent brain involvement or of extracranial lesions has been found. This case is unusual in the confinement of the disease to the central nervous system and in the favorable outcome following surgical treatment alone.
