Cerebral angiotropic large cell lymphoma is a rare fatal neurologic disorder characterized by multifocal intravascular proliferation of large pleomorphic cells within vessels of all caliber, predominantly skin and nervous system. Clinical manifestations in previously reported cases were dominated by focal neurologic signs, epilepsia and progressive dementia. We report a case of a 70 year-old man with subacute dementia, epileptic seizures and cerebrovascular events. There was no evidence of a systemic disease outside the nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid contained 13 leukocytes/mm3 (49% of lymphocytic cells) and more than 100 mg/dl of protein. Cytology was negative. Cranial MRI demonstrated cerebral atrophy and an increased paraventricular signal in T 2 weighted images. A frontal brain biopsy revealed only neuronal dystrophy and astrocytic gliosis. Despite treatment with corticosteroids the patient died 18 months after the onset of the first symptoms. Autopsy was performed and revealed B cell lymphoma.
