Abstract
We present a patient with long-standing MS who developed a malignant i ntracerebral lymphoma, suspected on MRI and verified by brain biopsy. This raises the interesting question about whether the coexistence of the two conditions is explained by cause or is just coincidental. Our case report also illustrates that other pathological conditions may de velop in MS patients and demand attention in the individual patient. ( C) 1998 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
