Özet

The central nervous system (CNS) is an important area of involvement for both highgrade, aggressive primary and secondary lymphomas. Although follicular lymphoma represents a low-grade histology, it may rarely present with CNS involvement. Here, we describe a patient diagnosed with follicular lymphoma who was presented with cerebellar involvement. © 2013 by the Korean Cancer Association.
