Primary Cranial Vault Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Mimicking Meningioma With Positive Angiography

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the bone remains an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Primary lymphoma of the cranial vault is exceptionally rare. Here, we present a 62-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with the rapid growth of a left parietal scalp lesion and new-onset seizu...

Sumario:Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the bone remains an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Primary lymphoma of the cranial vault is exceptionally rare. Here, we present a 62-year-old immunocompetent male presenting with the rapid growth of a left parietal scalp lesion and new-onset seizure. In addition to his imaging, which showed an extracranial, cranial, and intracranial mass with bony destruction, sagittal sinus involvement, and parenchymal invasion, his diagnostic angiogram demonstrated extensive vascular supply from both the right and left external carotid branches. Intraoperatively, we confirmed a frank invasion of the posterior sagittal sinus. After subtotal resection followed by R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone therapy, the patient continues to be disease-free at the 10-month follow-up. We report here a case of primary cranial vault lymphoma that very closely mimicked meningioma in many ways, with positive angiography and intraoperatively confirmed venous sinus invasion.
