This study reports the case of a 75-year-old woman with intermittent speech disturbance, headache, and general malaise. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a double lesion located in the third ventricle and temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. We completely removed the lesion in the third ventricle, adhering to the septum pellucidum. The histopathological diagnosis was Burkitt lymphoma, which was confirmed to be primary in postoperative investigation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of primary Burkitt lymphoma involving cerebral ventricles. Finally, we reviewed the characteristics of primary central nervous system Burkitt lymphoma.
本研究报告了一例 75 岁女性患者，间歇性言语障碍、头痛和全身不适。脑部磁共振成像显示第三脑室和侧脑室颞角有双病变。我们完全切除了附着于透明隔的第三脑室病变。组织病理学诊断为 Burkitt 淋巴瘤，术后检查证实为原发性。据我们所知，这是首例累及脑室内的原发性 Burkitt 淋巴瘤。最后，我们复习了原发性中枢神经系统 Burkitt 淋巴瘤的特征。
