Chronic expanding hematoma following Gamma Knife irradiation for primary central nervous system lymphoma: illustrative case
In this patient, CEH could have resulted from VEGFR-1 expression due to GKRS. For a patient with slow lesion growth following GKRS for PCNSL, surgical removal should be considered, taking into account the possibility of CEH along with recurrence and radiation necrosis. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE258.
