Abstract

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cranial vault is very rare. A 55-year-old woman presented with a right parietal subcutaneous scalp lump. Computed tomography(CT) scan showed a right parietal cranial vault lesion with scalp swelling and extradural and intradural involvement. Tumor removal, including portion of involved skull, followed by c ranioplasty with resin were performed. Histologic study revealed the features of a T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(high grade, large cell, diffuse, immunoblastic type) and there was no systemic involvement. The chemotherapy and radiotherapy were instituted after surgery.
