Dural Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Mimicking Meningioma: A Case Report

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T cell lymphoma composed of CD30- positive lymphoid cells. Most ALCLs present as nodal disease, with skin, bone, soft tissue, lung, and liver as common extranodal sites. ALCL rarely occurs in the central nervous system and is even more infrequent in th...

Summary:Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T cell lymphoma composed of CD30- positive lymphoid cells. Most ALCLs present as nodal disease, with skin, bone, soft tissue, lung, and liver as common extranodal sites. ALCL rarely occurs in the central nervous system and is even more infrequent in the dura of the brain. We report a case of dural-based ALCL secondary to systemic disease in a 17-year-old male that mimicked meningioma on magnetic resonance imaging and angiography. KCI Citation Count: 0
