Fig. 1. PCNSL histology. (A) Brain at the periphery of a PCNSL characteristically shows accumulation of neoplastic cells in the perivascular spaces (periodic acid Schiff; original magnification [OM] × 250). (B) Invasion of surrounding brain by neoplastic cells occurs from the perivascular space (periodic acid Schiff; OM × 500). (C) A sheet of neoplastic lymphoid cells characterizes this intraparenchymal large cell PCNSL. Moderate nuclear pleomorphism, a variable number of nucleoli per cell, and mitotic figures are evident (hematoxylin and eosin; OM × 500). (D) All tumors in this study were positive for CD20 (L-26 antibody, immunoperoxidase; OM × 500).
