Isolated Recurrence of Secondary CNS Lymphoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Abstract Isolated secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL) relapse is a rare disease. Consequently, standardized treatment regimens have yet to be developed. We present an interesting case of isolated SCNSL presenting with altered mental status and panhypopituitarism in a patient at low risk of developing the disease. We also review the related literature and discuss newer, more aggressive treatments for primary CNS lymphoma and SCNSL.
