Primary lymphomas of the CNS are rare. However the incidence of these lesions has increased recently. These tumors are often situated in the thalamus and basal ganglia, but can be multifocal. The treatment for primary CNS lymphoma is radiotherapy alone or in association with chemotherapy. Because the associated morbidity is very low stereotactic biopsy is an ideal method for determining the histologic diagnosis in patients with suspected CNS lymphoma. The authors present a study of 49 patients with primary CNS lymphomas in which a stereotactic biopsy was performed.
中枢神经系统原发性淋巴瘤较为罕见。然而，近年来这些病变的发病率有所上升。这些肿瘤常位于丘脑和基底神经节，但也可为多灶性。原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤的治疗方法是单纯放疗或联合化疗。由于相关的发病率非常低，立体定向活检是确定疑似中枢神经系统淋巴瘤患者组织学诊断的理想方法。作者报告了一项对49例原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤患者进行立体定向活检的研究。
