Abstract

Patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) are at higher risk of malignant lymphomas, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In adults, about twenty cases have been reported. Malignancy in pediatric-onset patients with SLE has been less extensively studied.
