Description
The diagnosis of primary multiple lesions in the brain presents considerable difficulties. In the absence of a primary tumour or generalised systemic disease, the differential diagnosis includes cerebral involvment by lymphoma, histiocytosis X, granulomatoses and the very rare occurrence of cerebral metastases from a cerebral tumour. The findings in a three year observation period, and the results of treatment, are discussed. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Primaer multiple zerebrale Herde bereiten hinsichtlich ihrer aetiologischen Zuordnung erhebliche Schwierigkeiten. Fehlen Hinweise fuer einen primaeren Tumor oder eine generalisierte Systemerkrankung, kommen differentialdiagnostisch der ausschliesslich zerebrale Befall durch Lymphome, die Histiozytosis X, Granulomatosen und die sehr seltene zerebrale Metastasierung hirneigener Tumoren in Betracht. Ueber den dreijaehrigen Verlauf einer hier einzuordnenden Beobachtung und deren Therapie wird berichtet. (orig.)Additional details
