You are here: Home » Pathology Notes » Primary CNS lymphoma
Only 1% of intracranial tumors and 2% of extranodal lymphomas
Strongly associated with AIDS and EBV
Most are large, high-grade B cell lymphomas and are multiple (astrocytomas are usually solitary)
Very aggressive and have a poor prognosis
Lymphocytes tend to be in a perivascular location like seen with viral encephalitis
