Secondary central nervous system lymphoma is a complication from non-Hodgkin lymphoma not very well known. NHL can present in a variety of neurological clinical presentations varying from primary central nervous system lymphoma to complications from a systemic disease like metastasis or peripheral nerve involvement. We present a case of a 78-year-old male with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, treated with Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone. Six months later of the diagnosis, the patient presented to the emergency department, complaining of five days with progressive weakness in the left upper limb, and two days before the weakness developed in the left lower limb. On the neurologic examination with inattention, dysarthria, left central facial nerve palsy, severe weakness on the left hemibody with hyperreflexia, and left extensor plantar response. Brain Magnetic resonance imaging reported three metastatic lesions, with a final diagnosis of secondary central nervous system lymphoma.

Abstract BACKGROUND Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are very rare in children. CLINICAL CASE: An 11-year-old male presented with a 2 months history with myoclonic movements in the upper right limb, and a sudden frontal headache, gait disturbance due to right hemiparesis and an ipsilateral convulsive episode. Upon admission he had critical condition, with hypertensive skull syndrome, Glasgow of 12, Karnofsky 40%, right hemiparesis, swallowing disorder, facial paralysis, and loss of photo motor reflex and unilateral amaurosis. A CT and MRI showed a huge tumor mass in the left tempo-parietal region, infiltrating the white matter and shifting the midline. A Tumor biopsy was done, and reported diffuse small cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of high-grade, Burkitt type. Systemic lymphoma workup was negative. He received six cycles of chemotherapy based on high dose methotrexate, rituximab and triple intrathecal.After the second cycle an ophthalmologic evaluation was done, and found infiltration to the right retina, for which 6 cycles of intra vitreous chemotherapy with methotrexate were applied, he showed an excellent response, and recovered all his neurological functions except that right hemianopia persist. Control MRI showed partial response at 2nd cycle and complete response after the 4th cycle. No Radiation was performed. CONCLUSION This report highlights the fact that pediatric PCNSL may be effectively treated by a combination of HDMTX and rituximab-based chemoimmunotherapy without irradiation. Lack of awareness of this rare entity may lead to extense resections of brain, and potential permanent secuelae that were avoided in this illustrative case.

Most lymphomas that involve the central nervous system are B-cell neoplasms that express the cell surface molecule CD20. After intravenous administration, rituximab can be reproducibly measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma; however, the CSF levels of rituximab are approximately 0.1% of serum levels associated with therapeutic activity in patients with systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Because lymphomatous meningitis is a frequent complication of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, we have conducted an analysis of the safety and pharmacokinetics of direct intrathecal administration of rituximab using cynomolgus monkeys. No significant acute or delayed toxicity, neurologic or otherwise, was detected. Pharmacokinetic analysis suggests that drug clearance from the CSF is biphasic, with a terminal half-life of 4.96 hours. A phase 1 study to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of intrathecal rituximab in patients with recurrent lymphomatous meningitis will be implemented based on these findings.

Abstract Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Its incidence has increased during the last 3 decades and has been reported in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. Immunocompromised patients are affected at a younger age compared with immunocompetent patients. It presents with raised intracranial pressure and focal neurologic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The lesions are typically solitary. The majority of the lesions are located in the periventricular area, whereas in a few cases they are located in the supratentorial area. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas constitute most PCNSLs, whereas T-cell, low-grade, anaplastic, and Hodgkin lymphomas are rarely encountered. The morphology of PCNSL shows a characteristic angiocentric pattern and is positive for B-cell markers by immunohistochemistry. The differential diagnosis of PCNSL includes central nervous system gliomas, metastatic tumors, demyelinating disorders, subacute infarcts, and space-occupying lesions due to an infectious etiology. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of PCNSL and the identification of molecular biomarkers have lagged behind that of systemic nodal lymphomas. Primary central nervous system lymphomas are treated with combined radiotherapies and chemotherapies. The prognosis for PCNSL is worse than for other extranodal lymphomas.

Abstract BACKGROUND non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a systemic cancer that originates from lymphocites. Central nervous system lymphoma is a rare form of non Hodgkin lymphoma that involve brain parenchym and spinal cord. The most common type of nervous system involvement is a leptomeningeal metastases. Whereas brain metastases is an extremely rare finding in NHL. We present a case report of NHL patient which metastasized to brain parenchym. MATERIAL AND METHODS Case report: a fourty two year old male patient suffered from seizure in September 2018, 7 days prior to hospitalized. severe headache and weakness on the left extremities were found in addition to seizure. A single nodule on the right frontal and another nodules on the right neck region were also found since 7 months ago. Patient was diagnosed with NHL in 2017 after a confirmed biopsy of NHL and underwent a chemotherapy procedure, but uncompleted. After head ct scan procedure in September 2018, which depicted a round mass in frontal lobe, patient underwent a complete chemotherapy procedure with CHOP regimen in September 2018. Another head ct scan was performed in January 2019 after a completed chemotherapy cycle which showed significant decrease in tumour size. RESULTS before and after head ct scan showed significant decrease in tumour size, from 4cmx2cm before chemotherapy and 2.5cmx1.3cm after chemotherapy CONCLUSION central nervous system involvement in NHL is a rare condition that carries a poor prognosis. Prophylaxis therapy still on debate about it’s efficacy to prevent this disease from spreading or relapse. Awareness of the possibility central nervous system involvement should always remain in a physician’s mind when dealing with NHL patients.

AbstractBackgroundPrimary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. PCNSL is a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with over 95% of tumors belonging to the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) group. We have conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on immunocompetent patients to address the possibility that common genetic variants influence the risk of developing PCNSL.MethodsWe performed a meta-analysis of 2 new GWASs of PCNSL totaling 475 cases and 1134 controls of European ancestry. To increase genomic resolution, we imputed >10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms using the 1000 Genomes Project combined with UK10K as reference. In addition we performed a transcription factor binding disruption analysis and investigated the patterns of local chromatin by Capture Hi-C data.ResultsWe identified independent risk loci at 3p22.1 (rs41289586, ANO10, P = 2.17 × 10−8) and 6p25.3 near EXOC2 (rs116446171, P = 1.95 x 10−13). In contrast, the lack of an association between rs41289586 and DLBCL suggests distinct germline predisposition to PCNSL and DLBCL. We found looping chromatin interactions between noncoding regions at 6p25.3 (rs11646171) with the IRF4 promoter and at 8q24.21 (rs13254990) with the MYC promoter, both genes with strong relevance to B-cell tumorigenesis.ConclusionTo our knowledge this is the first study providing insight into the genetic predisposition to PCNSL. Our findings represent an important step in defining the contribution of common genetic variation to the risk of developing PCNSL.
