Abstract
In the immunocompromised setting, there are distinct radiologic findings of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), including necrotic ring-enhancing lesions, increased propensity for intralesional haemorrhage, and multiplicity. In this clinical context, advanced imaging with MR perfusion, spectroscopy, and diffusion-weighted imaging can be used to increase accuracy in the diagnosis of lymphoma over mimics such as high-grade glioma, metastases, or infection. This review summarizes the histology and pathophysiology of PCNSL in immunodeficient hosts, which provide a basis for its imaging appearances, prognosis, and treatment. This discussion is important for the general radiologist as the incidence of immunodeficiency-related PCNSL may be increasing.
