An unusual case of primary anaplastic large cell central nervous system lymphoma: an 8-year success story.
Primary central nervous system anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCNS ALCL) is rare, with only three adult patients reported. We describe a patient with PCNS ALCL with the longest follow-up period so far reported. The patient was successfully treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient is well, independent and in full-time employment and has no residual neurological deficit. He has normal mental status, has a full head of hair and has fathered a healthy child.
