Overview
Natural History
- Primary central nervous system lymphoma is usually a fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma.[1]
- Primary central nervous system lymphoma often recurs after treatment.
- The clinical course is rapidly fatal; these patients usually present signs of elevated intracranial pressure, nausea, papilledema, vomiting, and neuropsychiatric symptoms.[2]
Complications
Prognosis
- The prognosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma is generally poor.[1]
- Poor prognostic factors for primary central nervous system lymphoma include:[1]
- Elderly patient
- Poor performance status of the individual
- AIDS-related primary central nervous system lymphoma
