Clinical records of these patients were analyzed in order to define disease characteristics. clinical course, and risk factors for CNS involvement Six patients had primary CNS lymphoma and twenty five patients had secondary involvement of CNS. 5.3% of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients had secondary CNS involvement. Patients less than 30 years of age had increased risk for CNS involvement. Patients who had stage IV lymphoma had CNS invalvement more frequently than expected but without statistical significance.
