Primary lymphomas of the central nervous system (PCLCS) are relatively rare tumors, usually having a multifocal manifestation in the brain and rapid progression. It is not always possible to make a correct diagnosis for MRI, since similar radiological manifestations (markers) of this disease, when using routine protocols, MRI can occur, for example, in malignant gliomas. This article presents a clinical case of a refinement diagnosis — PLCNS when using MRI in sequence (SWI), which was confirmed by the data of histological examination of surgical material.
