Figure/Graphic 2a-d: Brain biopsy Brain biopsy. (a) Large macrophages with a perivascular tropism. (b) High magnification: prominent astrocytic and microglial response without atypical cells. (c) Expression of CD68 by macrophagic cells. (d) Accumulation of large CD20-positive cells within the perivascular space, suggesting a primary, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with post-corticosteroid macrophagic detersion. |
