Abstract
A 42-year-old immune-competent woman with orbital pseudotumor and pres umed intracranial extension into the temporal lobe responded well clin ically and radiologically to high-doses of corticosteroids. Five month s later, she developed worsening headaches and recurrence of the tempo ral lobe lesion. Biopsy revealed a central nervous system (CNS) lympho ma with severe reactive gliosis abutting an area of subarachnoid lymph ocytic infiltrate.
