Abstract
Brain metastasis from systemic or cutaneous lymphoma is infrequently e ncountered. We present a case report of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTC L) that metastasized to the brain. A literature review identified four teen other cases of brain infiltration with CTCL. This report focuses attention on the typical presentation and markedly poor prognosis that characterize this rare problem. It also emphasizes the suspicion with which a brain mass in a lymphoma patient with neurological changes sh ould be regarded.
