RESUMO
A case of primary pleural non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a 2.5-year-old girl is reported. The patient had pleural involvement as the initial and only manifestation of the disease. Histopathologic examination showed lymphoblastic lymphoma of T-cell origin. The child received the modified LSA2-L2 protocol. During the maintenance treatment, she had an isolated central nervous system relapse and died of neutropenic sepsis. To the authors' knowledge this represents the first case report of primary pleural lymphoma in the childhood period.

The authors present a young male patient with two intracranial lesions, one in the left occipital lobe, the other in the left temporal lobe. These masses were totally removed and both proved to be alveolar hydatid cysts. Surgery for a large hepatic mass, diagnosed after the first craniotomy, was refused by the patient.
