Bulky centroblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cranium vault mimicking brain involvement managed with chemotherapy. A case report

Abstract

The initial interpretation of this case indicated that systemic chemotherapy with modified CNOP plus intrathecal methotrexate would be useful in the management of NHL with CNS involvement. The clinical outcome with rapid neurologic repair and also bone restoration of the cranial vault within 5 years suggests that the lymphoma probably never penetrated the dura and a successful treatment was achieved with combination chemotherapy only.
