Marginal zone lymphoma of the dura — two case reports with long-term follow-up
open access
Abstract
Primary MALT lymphoma arising at the dura is a rare circumstance with no categorical therapeutic plan in literature. There are few reports available with different treatment courses. Here, we report two cases with a long-term follow-up after the same pattern of management and review the literature.
