AB Cerebral lymphomas are one of the complications of AIDS. Their
increasing frequency, especially in the last decade, has to be
correlated with the incidence of systemic lymphomas and especially
central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas in non immuno-compromised
patients. CNS involvement is found in 40% of systemic lymphomas. Primary
lymphomas have an incidence of 0.4-0.56% in epidemiological studies and
7.6% in post-mortem series. Primary lymphomas are noted in all patients,
homosexuals, drug-addicts, children, with a lower rate in the
haemophiliacs. Known risk factors are HIV itself Epstein-Barr virus
almost constantly demonstrated in tumour cells. Epidemiological studies
on cerebral lymphomas must still be completed as, until recently, they
were included in the group entitled lymphomas, and risk factors have to
be specified with more accuracy.
