Introduction

Lymphomatous involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) may manifest either as the sole area of disease (i.e., primary CNS lymphoma [PCNSL]) or more commonly as part of a systemic disease.

PCNSL accounts for <1% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases and approximately 4% of newly diagnosed primary CNS tumors.[1] Most cases of PCNSL are aggressive, especially in the settings of underlying immunocompromised state.[2] Dural lymphomas (DLs) are a rare subtype of PCNSL that involve the dura mater without infiltration to the brain parenchyma. Low-grade lymphomas, especially marginal zone subtype, constitute majority of DLs. Herein, we report a case of primary dural marginal zone lymphoma (MZL).
