Résumé

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNLSs) are malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas solely affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we present a rare case of extra- and intracranial manifestation without adjacent calvarial infiltration. We report a 67-year-old woman who presented with right leg paresis and hypoesthesia, facial hypoesthesia, focal epileptic seizures, and an indolent tumor on the left parietal scalp. MRI showed a left paramedian extra- and intracranial contrast-enhancing tumor with infiltration of the superior sagittal sinus, but without osseous infiltration on CT. The tumor was radiologically suspected to be a meningioma and resection was performed. Histological examination, however, revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Thus, the patient received adjuvant treatment according to the MATRix protocol. We provide a detailed analysis of this rare case with a focus on preoperative radiological findings and differential diagnoses. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of only four published cases of DLBCL with extra- and intracranial manifestation without bone affection.
