Abstract:
The authors have studied six patients with histologically proven primary malignant lymphoma of the brain which is still a rare primary brain tumor. The clinical, radiological and pathological findings with results of the treatment are presented. All cases showed a good response to radiation therapy. Therefore, the early diagnosis by computerized tomography scan followed by biopsy or excision is considered to be very important for the BEST results in the treatment. Related reports are discussed briefly.
