Case 9 History (AANP Case 2003-3) ---- The patient was a 61 year-old female with a history of hypertension and diabetes. She presented with a severe, diffuse headache for 1 day but had been having intermittent headaches and sleeping more. She denied visual changes, seizures or trauma to the head. She was awake, alert and oriented, and had proptosis. A bout of nausea/vomiting occurred during the examination. MRI of the head revealed a 6.2 x 2.2 cm extra-axial mass along the lateral aspect of the right temporal and frontal lobes with significant enhancement, small dural tails and marked surrounding edema. Radiologically, meningioma was favored. This case has been subsequently published as an Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma (J. Clinical Oncology, 2005, 23: 5718-27)
