Lymphomatosis cerebri is considered a diffuse form of primary central nervous system lymphoma and very rare. It is not well recognized and may be misdiagnosed with infiltrating tumors, degenerative disorders, ischemic diseases, and infectious diseases developed in the brain. Awareness of the possibility of this rare disease and early biopsy are required for differential diagnosis and preventing poor clinical outcomes. We report a case with lymphomatosis cerebri who presented with rapid neurological deteriorations and review the relevant literatures.
脑淋巴瘤病被认为是原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤的一种弥漫性形式,非常罕见。它尚未得到充分认识,可能会被误诊为脑部发生的浸润性肿瘤、退行性疾病、缺血性疾病和感染性疾病。认识到这种罕见疾病的可能性并进行早期活检对于鉴别诊断和预防不良临床结果是必要的。我们报告一例表现为快速神经功能恶化的脑淋巴瘤病病例并复习相关文献。
