During the past 6 years we have experienced a total of 6 cases of malignant lymphomas, which originated primarily in the central nervous system. The most reliable diagnostic criteria will be a "perivascular cuffing" by silver impregnation with further spreading of tumor cells to the periphery, a "starry-sky" appearance consisting of numerous histiocytes with foamy cytoplasm intermingled with tumor cells, and cytological features of the imprint preparation. Since there is a close histologic similarity to extracerebral malignant lymphomas, we would like to propose that these tumors should be regarded as primary malignant lymphomas of the central nervous system instead of mere reticulum cell sarcoma-microglioma, and also would like to regard the brain to be not an exceptional site other than visceral lymphomas for occurrences of malignant lymphomas. For the pathogenesis of primary intracranial malignant lymphomas, the hypothesis, proposed by FEIGIN, of the possible existence of multipotential stem cells in the brain was discussed.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005260 Female Females
D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
