PISONI, C. N. et al. Linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central en una paciente con lupus eritematoso sistémico. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2003, vol.63, n.3, pp.221-223. ISSN 0025-7680.

A 36 year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus was admitted to our hospital with headache, brachiocrural hemiparesis and hemianesthesia. She had been treated with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. CT scan and MRI revealed a 15 mm nodular mass enhanced with gadolinium in left frontal convexity. CNS biopsy was performed and a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was diagnosed. She was treated with radiation therapy without response and died. There are few reports of erythematosus systemic lupus associated with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Palabras clave : Systemic lupus erythematosus; Primary central nervous system lymphoma; Immunosuppression.
