Primary lymphoma can occur in the brain and is restricted to the central nervous system (CNS). Secondary lymphoma involves the CNS after affecting other organs in the body. The prognosis is worse for secondary CNS lymphoma. Early diagnosis and treatment are mandatory. We report a case of secondary CNS lymphoma that was misdiagnosed as a cerebral abscess because of its unusual features.
原发性淋巴瘤可发生于脑部,且局限于中枢神经系统(CNS)。继发性淋巴瘤在累及身体其他器官后会侵犯中枢神经系统。继发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤的预后更差。早期诊断和治疗至关重要。我们报告一例继发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤病例,因其不寻常的特征被误诊为脑脓肿。
