Abstract

Non-AIDS lymphoma, a type of primary central nervous system (CNS)
lymphoma is an uncommon aggressive infiltrative malignant tumour
involving several sites in the central nervous system such as the
periventricular region and leptomeninges. In this article, the authors
presented a 26-year old man with painless progressive right
exophthalmos and scalp swelling with no symptoms and signs of
intracranial hypertension and hyperthyroidism. Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) done revealed isointense masses with homogenous
brilliant enhancement on contrast administration resembling a
meningioma, with a dura tail – like attachment as seen in meningioma.
He had surgery for the right orbital tumour and histopathological
diagnosis confirmed our suspicion of lymphoma (B type). Steroid was
given in the post-operative period which led to significant regression of
the tumours, hence its description as ‘vanishing tumour’. He is
presently receiving a methotrexate-based chemotherapy and
subsequently planned for radiotherapy.
