La tomografía reveló un tumor de 11 x 9 cm en la zona frontal, con edema peritumoral que comprimía los ventrículos laterales y desviaba la línea media en más de 5 mm. La biopsia reveló un linfoma primario difuso, a células B grandes, VEB (+), CD 20 (+), Ki 6780%. El conteo de CD4 fue 9 células/mm3 y la carga viral VIH fue 54 352 copias/mL. Fue tratado con TARGA, mejorando su condición general y disminuyendo las convulsiones.
