 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 MRI of primary brain lymphoma and related pathological characteristics of the performance [Abstract] Objective To investigate the performance of MRI of primary brain lymphoma and related pathological features, aimed at raising awareness about the disease. Methods A retrospective analysis of 15 cases confirmed by pathology in the brain MRI manifestations of lymphoma, with pathological features were evaluated. Results 15 patients were substantive focus for the single, pathological types are B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, MRI showed a long T1, etc., etc., or T2 signal, FLAIR image showed equal signals, enhanced scan mass-like lesions showed homogeneous enhancement, or fist-like, there’s edema and lesion size out of proportion. Conclusions of primary intracranial lymphoma of the MR signal intensity, enhancement pattern and the extent of occupying the diagnosis and differential diagnosis value. [Keywords:] brain magnetic resonance imaging of primary lymphoma of Pathology [Abstract] Objective To estimate MRI features and their pathology characters of primary intracranial lymphoma, and to improve the cognition of the disease. Methods MRI findings in 15 cases with pathologically proved primary intracranial lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed, and pathology characters were evaluated. Results The lesions were solitary in all 15 cases, pathologically, all lesions were non-Hodgkins lymphoma of B cell type. MR imaging revealed intermediate-to low-signal-intensity tumor on T1-weighted images and either isointense or hypointense signal relative to the gray matter on T2-weighted images and FLAIR images.Classic findings of a space-occupying lesion, including mass effect and surrounding vasogenic edema. After the infusion of paramagnetic contrast material, intense homogeneous enhancement of a solitary mass, like “closed fist” or “clump “, was the hallmark of primary intracranial lymphoma. Conclusion It is significant value of MR signal intensi
