Abstract
Parenchymal brain involvement, as opposed to dural or leptomeningeal, is a relatively uncommon pattern of spread to the CNS for systemic lymphomas. More significantly, follicular lymphomas are one of the least frequent types of indolent lymphomas to develop clinically apparent, secondary CNS spread. The presentation of an indolent follicular lymphoma with transformation to an aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma within the brain parenchyma is rare. Its manifestation as a massive, singular lesion is unique and prompted diagnostic confusion.
