Secondary CNS lymphoma occurs from spread of systemic disease to the CNS (non- Hodgkin’s more common than Hodgkin’s). Secondary lymphomas typically involve the leptomeninges, and CSF with parenchymal involvement is much less common. MR imaging findings include leptomeningeal/dural enhancement and hydrocephalus.
