Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon extranodal manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with those presenting at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) being rare presentations with limited reported cases in the literature. We report a 60-year old female presenting with PCNSL of the left CPA radiologically mimicking a trigeminal schwannoma with corresponding clinical signs. Imaging showed a left CPA lesion that was biopsied and confirmed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Given its rarity, PCNSL should be considered in the differential diagnosis for all CPA tumours.
