Description
Abstract
Recent increases in the incidence of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), a rare non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma arising in the brain, have been noted in both immunodeficient and immunocompetent patients. Compared with lymphomas originating outside the central nervous system, the biology of PCNSL at the molecular or cytogenetic level has not been well characterized, yet it is important to thoroughly understand the etiology of this rare malignant lymphoma if effective therapies are to be developed. This review will focus on the epidemiology, clinical aspects, histopathology, pathogenesis, and molecular genetics of this aggressive, extranodal lymphoma in immunocompetent patients.
