 AB    Cerebral lymphomas are one of the complications of AIDS. Their
       increasing frequency, especially in the last decade, has to be
       correlated with the incidence of systemic lymphomas and especially
       central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas in non immuno-compromised
       patients. CNS involvement is found in 40% of systemic lymphomas. Primary
       lymphomas have an incidence of 0.4-0.56% in epidemiological studies and
       7.6% in post-mortem series. Primary lymphomas are noted in all patients,
       homosexuals, drug-addicts, children, with a lower rate in the
       haemophiliacs. Known risk factors are HIV itself Epstein-Barr virus
       almost constantly demonstrated in tumour cells. Epidemiological studies
       on cerebral lymphomas must still be completed as, until recently, they
       were included in the group entitled lymphomas, and risk factors have to
       be specified with more accuracy.
