ABSTRACT
Introduction: Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas generally have their origin in the lymphoid system, there is a great diversity of them, which makes their classification and definitive pathological diagnosis difficult. There are also extranodal locations, such as in the brain, which makes it even more interesting.Objective: To present a patient with marginal cerebral lymphoma, of a very infrequent diagnosis.
Clinical case: A 67-year-old female patient with a personal pathological history of arterial hypertension and epilepsy, who began to feel rigid, with involuntary movements that generalized to the whole body, until she lost consciousness, when she recovered she was drowsy and with headache of moderate intensity. Brain MALT non-Hodgkin lymphoma is diagnosed, treatment is performed to reverse symptoms, and the disease is controlled.
Conclusions: A timely and accurate histopathological diagnosis is necessary, with the use of immunohistochemical studies. This allows for early treatment and disease control.
