Abstract
Cranial imaging is vital in patients with complaints of sudden speech disorder, deterioration in performance status, urinary and fecal incontinence, and numbness in hands and feet. It provides an investigation of etiology and clarification of diagnosis. Hematological malignancies sometimes present with these symptoms and imaging may be the first method for diagnosis. In this case, we will present a patient diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma, who was found to be HIV-positive during follow-up, and who progressed early and died despite treatment.Keywords
