  • Title: Intracranial non-Hodgkin's MALT lymphoma mimicking a large convexity meningioma.
    Author: Pavlou G, Pal D, Bucur S, Chakrabarty A, van Hille PT.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2006 Jul; 148(7):791-3; discussion 793. PubMed ID: 16570114.
    Abstract:
    Primary presentation of an intradural Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare. Recently these B cell lymphomas of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) have gained acceptance as an important pathological subtype and are distinguishable from other primary CNS lymphomas that exhibit aggressive behaviour. Over the past decade a number of these lesions have been reported to resemble a meningioma both intra-operatively and radiologically. The authors outline such a case of marginal zone B cell lymphoma that clinically and radiologically resembled a meningioma. This case illustrates the rare occurrence of low grade dural B cell lymphoma and the need to consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of CNS lesions, if appropriate targeted therapy is to be administered.
