Primary central nervous system lymphoma is an uncommon Non-Hodking lymphoma, that may occur in brain and meninges, orbita or spinal cord. Primary central nervous system lymphoma is mostly in the diffuse large B cell lymphoma group and agressive crusing. Despite the clinic, imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid findings suggesting the illness, biopsy is necessary for definite diagnosis and treatment planning. A seventy three-year-old male patient applied with progressive headache for a month and weakness on the right-arm. The patient was hospitalized to our clinic for further examination and treatment. Lumbar puncture was applied the patient who is thought to have central nervous system lymphoma as a result of the magnetic resonans imaging. Stereotactic brain biopsy was performed on the patient who had no evidence of lymphoma in the lumbar puncture examinations and a result of pathologic examination, the CD20+B cell lymphoma was diagnosed. When MR findings are typical for primary central nervous system lymphoma, histopathologic diagnosis should be made without delay and treatment should be started.
