Primary lymphoma of the skull base.

This case demonstrates the rare finding of a primary malignant lymphoma of the frontobasis and ethmoidal cells in a patient presenting with progressive loss of vision. Computed tomography and MRI demonstrated a homogenously enhancing tumour with extensive bony destructions of the skull base. After transsphenoidal biopsy, histology revealed a highly malignant primary B-cell lymphoma. The patient was further treated with immunochemotherapy. Tissue diagnosis is, therefore, crucial before a definitive therapy is instituted.
