Gordon","Kenneth E. Fallon","Kristen O. Riley"],"abstract":"Background: Simultaneous presentation of multiple primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies is extremely rare. There have been only eight cases of meningiomas co-existing with primary cerebral lymphoma, reported in the literature. Case Description: We present a case of a patient who underwent surgical resection of an olfactory grove meningioma that was interdigitated with a primary CNS B-cell lymphoma. Following surgery, the patient was treated with high-dose methotrexate, and has no evidence of recurrence after 18 months. Conclusion: Because of the early recognition of these two distinct pathologies, the patient received directed adjuvant therapies, and has exceeded the survival of all other cases reported in the literature.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/27915e91-ce88-418f-a00e-6cdd1fdcb4ff/featured/hero-1782420833132.png","publishDate":"2011-12-13T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.90716","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/3783/SNI-2-181.pdf"}
