Primary intracerebral Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The case is reported of a 51 year old man with primary intracerebral Hodgkin's lymphoma treated by surgical excision, intrathecal chemotherapy and whole-brain irradiation. One year later the patient had no evidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma intracranially or elsewhere. The possible histogenesis of this rare condition is discussed and a brief review of the literature is presented.
