Abstract

DA ROCHAA, A.J. et al. Linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central: el aporte de las técnicas convencionales de diagnóstico por imágenes. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2016, vol.80, n.2, pp.112-121. ISSN 1852-9992.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has a predictable imaging appearance on conventional imaging in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. The imaging features that enable both types of patients are discussed. The extensive imaging review presented here of the most relevant PCNSL clinical presentations and their imaging appearances using conventional imaging techniques is based on a retrospective analysis of our institutional files and on the current literature. The review covers all of the relevant appearances of this uncommon disease to enable early diagnosis, which is crucial for proper patient management.
