Primary central nervous system T-cell lymphoma. Case report.
A 46-year-old male presented with a rare primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system of T-cell lineage, localized primarily in the right parietal region. There was no evidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Biopsy of the tumor allowed immunohistochemical confirmation of the diagnosis. Irradiation and chemotherapy were given, and the patient has remained well for 24 months. The clinical manifestations, management, and outcome of T-cell lymphoma are very similar to those of B-cell lymphoma.
