We present a patient with long‐standing MS who developed a malignant intracerebral lymphoma, suspected on MRI and verified by brain biopsy. This raises the interesting question about whether the coexistence of the two conditions is explained by cause or is just coincidental. Our case report also illustrates that other pathological conditions may develop in MS patients and demand attention in the individual patient.
