| Discussion | Lymphomatosis cerebri (T-cell lymphoma) 감별진단: 1) toxic metabolic demyelinating Dz, 2) MS, 3) tumor such as gliomatosis cerebri, lymphomatous cerebri, 4) leukoencephalopathy etc Review: Lymphomatosis cerebri (LC): Very rarely, PCNSL lymphoma manifests as a diffuse infiltrating disease involving the whole neuraxis which is then referred to as LC. Clinically, LC typically presents with a rapidly progressive dementia. Typical MRI features of LC are diffuse leukoencephalopathy bilaterally in the hemispheres on T2 weighted images, reflecting widespread infiltration of the cerebral white matter by lymphomatous cells but no contrast enhancement. Brainstem and basal ganglia involvement was also observed. Mimics other white matter disorders, including Binswanger’s disease, metabolic leukoencephalopathies, and infectious or autoimmune diseases primarily involving the white matter.
