Abstract

In SRL-FMRI, during the last 4 years 4 months, a total of 1953 central nervous system tumours were reported, out of which 44 cases were suspected for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), 39/44 could be confirmed on histopathology, five cases could not be confirmed due to steroid therapy given before the biopsy. We are presenting data on 39 cases which make approximately 2% of 1953 cases of CNS tumours. The clinical presentation, radiological features, immune status and status of international extra nodal lymphoma study group (IELSG) prognostic variables is assessed. Subtyping of lymphomas with the immunoprofile, BCL6 and BCL2 expression along with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status by immunohistochemistry and by FISH (EBER-1) will be presented along with clinical follow up and outcome.
