Abstract:

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is a rare primary Dural neoplasm with distinct histopthological features and challenging radiological appearances. The authors are reporting a case of a primary Dural lymphoma that was initially mimicked a subdural hematoma presented with new onset headache and visual changes. Ophthalmological exam revealed bilateral grade III papilledema that warranted urgent imaging. Initial CT scan without contrast was interpreted as sub-acute subdural hematoma. Based on CT findings, MRI was requested which revealed an enhancing Dural mass for which surgery was performed. Histopathology revealed marginal zone lymphoma of the Dura. All further work up was negative for systemic lymphoma.
