Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 54
Abstract
A 60-year-old male presented with swelling in the left submandibular region and cervical region. He was investigated and was found to have high-grade B-cell NonHodgkin Lymphoma in 2010. He received six cycles of RCHOP (Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy. He was symptomfree till 2015. In February 2015, he presented with complaints of severe headache and signs of increased intracranial tension. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed homogeneously enhancing lobulated mass lesions, three in number, with small central ill-defined hypoattenuating areas noted in right supratentorial region predominantly in the subependymal regions along the right lateral ventricle around the frontal horn, and occipital horn with near total obliteration of right lateral ventricle and also in the subcortical white matter region of right parietal lobe [Figure 1]. He had no evidence of significant lymphadenopathy in the neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
