title: Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system.
abstract: In the past few years, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system has been the object of increasing attention because of the recent rise in its incidence. Part of this increase can clearly be attributed to the AIDS epidemic. This tumor responds unsatisfactorily to the traditional treatments. Various studies to determine the most effective treatment modality have yielded inconclusive results. A concise review of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system is presented along with a case study of cerebellar non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
