Abstract
While referring to the sharp rise in the incidence of primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSLs) as an epi-demic may be somewhat overstated, this tumor has made the transition from textbook and case report material to surgical pathology benches across America. While this is in part a result of the AIDS epidemic, an overall 10 fold increase in the incidence of PCNSL was seen between 1973 and 1991 (1).
