Abstract
CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for planned chemotherapy for recently diagnosed CNS lymphoma. His medical history included follicular lymphoma (achieved remission 1 year prior with chemotherapy) and tonic-clonic seizure 1 month prior to admission, which led to his eventual biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of CNS lymphoma. Physical examination revealed temperature 36.4 °C, heart rate of 60 beats/min, BP of 160/81 mm Hg, and 98% oxygen saturation on room air. Neurologic condition, including mental status examination, was normal. His cardiac examination revealed regular rate and rhythm with normal first and second heart sounds without murmurs, rubs, or gallops. The remainder of the examination was unremarkable. Review of systems noted progressive and intermittent confusion prior to his seizure. He denied any shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, lower extremity edema, palpitations, or syncope. Laboratory data were unremarkable.
