Supplementary file1 Supplementary Fig. 1 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings obtained with diffusion-weighted imaging (left; DWI) and T1-weighted imaging (right; T1WI). Acute ischemic stroke (arrow) and minor bleeding (arrowhead) were also seen. Supplementary Fig. 2 Microscopic features of the frontal lobe brain biopsy specimen. The number of atypical cells in the blood vessels were too small to allow a definitive diagnosis to be made. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, x40. Supplementary Fig. 3 MRI findings obtained before and after the first course of chemotherapy. The patient’s MRI findings improved after one cycle of combination chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone). FLAIR, T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; CE-MRI, contrast-enhanced MRI; CTx, chemotherapy. (PDF 24410 KB)
