Solitary intraventricular Hodgkin lymphoma post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (HL-PTLD): Case report

We report a rare case of a primary intraventricular CNS classical HL-PTLD in a male patient, 18 years following renal transplantation. The location allowed for safe neurosurgical intervention which resolved the symptom of elevated intracranial pressure and allowed for induction of a Rituximab-based chemotherapy regimen. Both the ventricular location of the PTLD and Hodgkin Lymphoma PTLD are themselves individually quite rare and have not previously been reported together. The unique location allowed safe neurosurgical intervention which quickly resolved the symptom of elevated intracranial pressure and allowed for induction of a Rituximab-based chemotherapy regimen.
