Abstract
We report a case of dural marginal zone lymphoma which showed the usual radiological findings resembling meningioma. A 59-year-old woman presented with headache. Initial computed tomography and magnetic resonance images showed a frontal convexity meningioma. The patient underwent a craniotomy and subtotal (simpson grade II) resection of tumor was done. Pathological examination confirmed an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). The lesion was composed of a lymphoid mass with irregularly shaped follicles surrounded by many monomorphic small lymphocytes and a stained marginal zone for B-cell markers CD20 and CD29a. The natural history of primary CNS lymphoma and MALT type lymphoma are different. B-cell MALT lymphoma can mimic meningioma in its radiological features. Accordingly, MALT lymphoma of the CNS must be considered in the differential diagnosis of meningioma.
