Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) is a unique form of primary central nerves lymphoma (PCNSL), which presents as diffuse infiltration of lymphoma cells characteristically in the white matter rather than tumor formation. However, the involvement of central nervous system (CNS) is unclear because of the lack of contrast enhancement.
