## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of brain lymphoma in a young patient successfully treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the detailed clinical management of a rare cerebral lymphoma case in a young individual.

## Key findings

- The patient showed good disease control after primary chemotherapy.
- Consolidation radiotherapy was well-tolerated and effective.
- The case highlights the distinct profile of primary CNS lymphoma.

## Abstract

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is a rare and aggressive form of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, limited to the brain, eyes, spinal cord, or leptomeninges without systemic involvement. This group of malignant tumors is characterized by a particular diagnostic, therapeutic, and evolutionary profile compared to other types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. We report a case of a young patient treated in our university hospital center for primary cerebral lymphoma who benefited from primary chemotherapy and then consolidation radiotherapy with good disease control and good tolerance.
