Isolated Hodgkin lymphoma of the intracranial dura: A case report and review of the literature

Sumario:Primary dural Hodgkin lymphoma (PDHL) is an extremely rare subset of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Its existence is controversial, as Hodgkin lymphoma is not traditionally thought to arise from the central nervous system (CNS) or its meninges and only 0.02% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma have any CNS involvement. We report a case of a 71‐year‐old Caucasian man who presented with progressive fatigue and sudden onset slurred speech, disorientation, and memory loss. Brain imaging identified a large extra‐axial right frontal mass, and he underwent urgent subtotal resection. Pathology and subsequent workup revealed Stage IAE classical Hodgkin lymphoma of the right frontal dura, with no extra‐cranial disease or leptomeningeal spread detected. The patient was subsequently treated with ABVD chemotherapy (completed 2.5 of 4 planned cycles) and 36 Gy in 20 fractions of consolidative involved‐site radiotherapy (ISRT). He has been followed for 5 years with no clinical or radiological signs of recurrence. This is the second confirmed case of intracranial PDHL reported in the literature, with the longest follow‐up for any case of PDHL.
