The experience with central nervous system (CNS) non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma at a 700‐bed teaching hospital over five years (1979–1983) is reported. During this period 222 patients with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma were seen. Ten new cases (eight patients with secondary and two patients with primary CNS lymphoma) were diagnosed during this period, representing an overall incidence of 4.5%. The clinical, pathological and neuroradiological findings of this group are described with special emphasis on the varied appearances that were found on computer‐assisted tomographic scans.
