    Author: Benouaich A, Delord JP, Danjou M, Richaud J, Urocoste E, Soum F, Aziza R, Roche H.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 2003 Jul; 159(6-7 Pt 1):652-8. PubMed ID: 12910073.
    Abstract:
    Primary lymphoma arising in dura is exceedingly rare. We report the clinicopathologic findings of two patients with primary B-cell lymphoma of dura. Both were female, 38 and 45 years old. Prior to biopsy they were felt to have meningioma on preoperative magnetic resonance imagery. Histologically, tumors were classified as MALT-type lymphoma. Literature describe only 14 reports of similar entity. Primary lymphomas arising in dura appear to have a more favourable clinical course compared to PCNSL and may require a less aggressive treatment.
