Summary
A study of eighteen cases of primary lymphoreticular tumours in the brain is described. In four of these there were extraneural lesions and in one macroglobulinaemia. The use of whole brain sections embedded in celloidin, and of metallic impregnation methods, revealed certain constant patterns of proliferation. The tumours were diffuse and multicentric; the leptomeninges and perivascular spaces especially in the subependymal regions were frequently involv. d. Mature microglia were active both in infiltrated and in apparently tumour-free regions.
