Abstract
Primary lymphoma of the brain in AIDS is being observed with increased frequency; five pathologically proven cases are presented. Although the CT patterns may correlate well with patterns previously described in lymphoma, occasionally an irregular ring-like lesion may occur which is difficult to distinguish from toxoplasmosis or other inflammatory processes without appropriate pathological material.
