Abstract

This article discusses the case of a 57-year-old male with a history of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia who developed multiple intra-axial lesions in the brain. The patient experienced symptoms such as headache, fever, seizures, and coma. Imaging scans revealed edematous lesions with contrast enhancement. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) consistent with Primary CNS T-cell lymphoma. The article highlights the importance of distinguishing this type of lymphoma from other intra-axial tumors and discusses the prognosis and potential treatment options. [Extracted from the article]
