Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are infrequent tumors and their presentation as a solitary hypothalamic-third ventricle mass can be considered exceptional. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with progressive visual deterioration, diabetes insipidus and mental confusion. She had a diffuse and homogeneous tumoral lesion involving the third ventricle and the adjacent hypothalamic area with marked enhancement after contrast administration on both, competed tomography scan and magnetic resonance images. It was approached and partially resected by the translamina terminalis route. Histological diagnosis proved to be a diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the patient subsequently was treated with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Followup examination showed visual acuity recover but persistent confessional state. Eight similar well described cases reported in the literature are reviewed with a description of the major diffenciating features of this neurological entity. Treatment of PCNSL remains a challenge, and the topographical location within the hypothalamic-third ventricle area is even more complex.
