Psychiatric Disturbance As a Presenting Symptom in Central Nervous Lymphoma

Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are a rare but noteworthy presentation of CNS lymphoma, distinct from cognitive changes that have been previously described with this condition. There is an increasing awareness of neurological illness presenting as pure psychiatric disturbance, prompting exclusion of organic disease, particularly in elderly patients who present with new psychiatric complaints.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
