title: Intraoperative 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence in primary central nervous system lymphoma.
abstract: The authors report a case of primary CNS lymphoma located in the floor of the fourth ventricle that showed intense fluorescence after preoperative administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid. The authors believe that this is the first demonstration of a 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence pattern in primary CNS lymphoma.
