Primary XXXX in immunocompetent: a review of literature and our experience from Kashmir.

@entity1 @entity706 @entity428 @entity75 @entity51 @entity1892
AIM: To study the clinicopathological aspects of primary @entity706 in immunocompetent @entity1 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixteen @entity1 with primary @entity706 were analyzed for their clinico-pathological characteristics and followed-up for the treatment and subsequent management in Neurosurgery, and Medical and Radiation Oncology. RESULTS: The fronto-parietal region was the commonest location of @entity706 ; four cases of @entity706 were seen. Our @entity1 were relatively young with a mean age of 48 years and an age range of 35-60 years. Females outnumbered males with a ratio of 2.7:1. The commonest presentation was focal @entity51 and features of @entity428 . All the @entity1 histologically had diffuse large @entity1892 . Radiologically, most presented as disc-enhancing lesions. Two @entity1 had @entity75 . Most of the @entity1 (10) died within a mean of 4.4 months (range 2 weeks-16 months). CONCLUSION: Primary @entity706 is seen in immunocompetent @entity1 as well. Relapse is common after treatment and the overall prognosis is unfavorable.
