Patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) are at higher risk of
malignant lymphomas, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary central
nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin
lymphoma. In adults, about twenty cases have been reported. Malignancy
in pediatric-onset patients with SLE has been less extensively studied.
Herein, we report the first case of PCNS lymphoma in an adolescent
diagnosed with lupus nephritis treated with Mycophenolate Mofetil.
