Abstract

A clinical case of a primary central nervous system (PLCNS) lymphoma in a woman with HIV, AIDS stage.
After neurosurgery an injury in a site was confirmed thus an oncologic treatment and antiretroviral therapy were conducted achieving acceptable results.
We aim at reviewing and updating PLCNS bibliography in patients with HIV taking into consideration diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
