Abstract

A primary Burkitt-type lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS) is presented. The right temporoparietal tumor in a woman of 55 was diagnosed histologically as a Burkitt-type lymphoma. Primary Burkitt-type lymphoma of the CNS is extremely rare and has been reported previously only four times. This is the first case reported in Eastern Asia.
