Effective treatments are available for PCNSL and intravascular lymphoma; thus, their prognosis is generally good if they are diagnosed early. Herein, we report the case of a patient suspected with autoimmune encephalitis after brain MRI and treated with immunomodulation therapy. However, PCNSL was confirmed by a surgical biopsy. It is, therefore recommended to consider lymphoma in patients with neurological symptoms that are difficult to localize and rapidly progressive enhancing lesions showing a mass effect on brain MRI.
