Abstract
Primitive cerebral lymphoma (PCL) is a rare entity often poorly known. They are defined as extra nodal tumor interesting the CNS, brain and eye, and this in the absence of systemic lymphoma disease and brain metastases. The favoring factor is established immunosuppression which is explained by an increase in the incidence related to HIV. The basis of treatment is chemotherapy with consolidation radiotherapy. We report the experience of the National Institute of Oncology in Rabat in management of this disease.
