Abstract: | The authors describe a rare case of primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma presenting as bilateral cerebellopontine angle lesions. Imaging showed bilateral cerebellopontine angle lesions and also a small mass in right lateral ventricle and anterior third ventricle region. The right cerebellopontine angle mass was surgically excised and radio- and chemotherapy given for the remaining lesions. This is the second case reported in the world literature. The case is discussed and the literature is reviewed. |
