| Abstrakt: | Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type, which is primary to the central nervous system (CNS), is a rare lesion, with those originating within the parenchyma even more so. We present the case of a 64-year-old male with weakness in the left hand and focal motor seizures of his arm, who was found to have a right frontal intraparenchymal lesion. Following resection, histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations were completed, leading to a diagnosis of a primary CNS MZBCL of MALT type in the context of a negative workup of systemic disease. Neuroimaging, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings, as well as a comprehensive literature review of similar cases, are discussed.
