'''Primary CNS lymphoma''' is a [[brain tumor|primary intracranial tumor]] usually present in those with severe immunosuppression --- commonly in those with [[AIDS]] --- and represents around 20% of all cases of lymphomas in HIV infection (other types being [[Burkitt's lymphoma]] and immunoblastic lymphoma).

Because imaging techniques cannot distinguish the two conditions with certainty, patients usually undergo [[brain biopsy]] if the lesion is solitary or a trial of toxoplasmosis therapy is non-therapeutic. In the future, it may be possible to use [[polymerase chain reaction|PCR]] assay of cerebrospinal fluid for EBV DNA.

Overview

Other diagnostic studies for primary central nervous system lymphoma include magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetic resonance perfusion, scintigraphy, stereotactic biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction.[1][2][3][4]

Other Diagnostics Studies

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Magnetic Resonance Perfusion

Scintigraphy

  • Findings on scintigraphy suggestive of primary central nervous system lymphoma include:[1]
  • Thallium 201: increased uptake
  • C11 Methionine PET: increased uptake

Biopsy

  • Stereotactic biopsy is usually performed to confirm a diagnosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma, especially in people who do not have AIDS.[2]

Bone Marrow Biopsy

Polymerase Chain Reaction

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be performed to look for positive Epstein-Barr virus DNA in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma, to establish the association with the virus.[4]
