Rare Case of Isolated Dural Marginal Zone Lymphoma
Financial support and sponsorship Nil.
Introduction
Lymphomatous involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) may manifest either as the sole area of disease (i.e., primary CNS lymphoma [PCNSL]) or more commonly as part of a systemic disease.
PCNSL accounts for <1% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases and approximately 4% of newly diagnosed primary CNS tumors.[1] Most cases of PCNSL are aggressive, especially in the settings of underlying immunocompromised state.[2] Dural lymphomas (DLs) are a rare subtype of PCNSL that involve the dura mater without infiltration to the brain parenchyma. Low-grade lymphomas, especially marginal zone subtype, constitute majority of DLs. Herein, we report a case of primary dural marginal zone lymphoma (MZL).
