Abstract
Follicular lymphoma is the second most common lymphoma throughout the world. Its course is usually indolent. Affection of Central Nervous System by a follicular lymphoma is usually as primary disease, and secondary affection is usually due to high-grade transformation. In this case-report we describe a young patient who presented a follicular lymphoma which secondary affected the central nervous system without high grade transformation.
