Improving Safety and Accuracy of Stereotactic Brain Biopsies in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive extranodal non- Hodgkin lymphoma exclusively localized into the nervous system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the MRI imaging characteristics of the peritumoral area (PTA) and to correlate this information to pathological findings.
