They masquerade commonly as meningioma and can present as mass lesions with raised intracranial pressure.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We report one such case of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in a young female involving the scalp, dural involvement in the right frontal region, left parietal, and posterior fossa and mimicking both clinically and radiologically as meningioma. She was managed surgically. Histological examination showed features suggestive of DLBCL (germinal center type). She was planned for adjuvant therapy. However, at 2 months following surgery, she succumbed due to systemic involvement of the disease.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>DLBCL is seen rarely in neurosurgical practice. They can present as tumors with adjacent extra- and intra-cranial masses. They pose a diagnostic challenge as it can be easily confused with meningioma. Tumor resection is performed to confirm diagnosis and in patients who present with raised intracranial pressure. Chemotherapy is the preferred treatment, and adjuvant therapy should be started early.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_360_2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T07:08:04Z","timestamp":1721977684000},"page":"261","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Multiple primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma masquerading as meningioma"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Sivaraman","family":"Kumarasamy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanwaljeet","family":"Garg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satish Kumar","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
