Abstract

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) constitutes only 1.0 to 1.5% of all brain tumors. Their incidence has gone up over tenfold in the last 25 years. Though, there has been an association of PCNSL with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), yet the increased incidence of PCNSL appears to be real and unrelated to AIDS and organ transplantation. This increased incidence could be because of improvement in diagnostic technology and practice. The outcome remains gloomy despite surgical resection, radiotherapy and intensive adjuvant chemotherapy regimens, as majority of the patients succumb to the disease, with only 30-40% survival in patients under 70 years of age.
