Primary cerebral lymphoma in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)--CT manifestations

Comput Med Imaging Graph. 1989 Mar-Apr;13(2):207-14. doi: 10.1016/0895-6111(89)90202-4.

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.
