To study the clinicopathological aspects of primary CNS lymphoma in immunocompetent patients.
Sixteen patients with primary CNS lymphoma were analyzed for their clinico-pathological characteristics and followed-up for the treatment and subsequent management in Neurosurgery, and Medical and Radiation Oncology.
The fronto-parietal region was the commonest location of CNS lymphoma; four cases of cerebellar lymphoma were seen. Our patients were relatively young with a mean age of 48 years and an age range of 35-60 years. Females outnumbered males with a ratio of 2.7:1. The commonest presentation was focal neurological-deficits and features of raised intracranial pressure. All the patients histologically had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Radiologically, most presented as disc-enhancing lesions. Two patients had multiple lesions. Most of the patients (10) died within a mean of 4.4 months (range 2 weeks-16 months).
Primary CNS lymphoma is seen in immunocompetent patients as well. Relapse is common after treatment and the overall prognosis is unfavorable.
研究免疫功能正常患者原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤的临床病理特征。
分析16例原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤患者的临床病理特征，并在神经外科、医学肿瘤学和放射肿瘤学领域对其治疗及后续管理进行随访。
额顶叶区域是中枢神经系统淋巴瘤最常见的发病部位；发现4例小脑淋巴瘤。我们的患者相对年轻，平均年龄为48岁，年龄范围在35至60岁之间。女性多于男性，比例为2.7:1。最常见的表现是局灶性神经功能缺损和颅内压升高的症状。所有患者组织学检查均为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤。影像学上，大多数表现为病灶强化。2例患者有多个病灶。大多数患者（10例）在平均4.4个月（范围为2周 - 16个月）内死亡。
免疫功能正常的患者也会出现原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤。治疗后复发常见，总体预后不佳。
