Thirty-one patients (29.5%) had PVRL only; 53 patients (50.5%) had both VRL and CNSL; and 21 patients (20.0%) had VRL and extra-CNS/testicular lymphoma. Of eight patients who developed CNSL after PVRL diagnosis, six patients died and the cause of death was CNSL in four patients and deterioration of general condition in two patients. Among 21 patients with VRL and extra-CNS/testicular involvement, 13 (12.4% of all VRL patients) had PVRL and subsequent extra-CNS/testicular involvement with/without CNSL; eight patients (7.6% of all VRL patients) had primary extra-CNS/testicular lymphoma with subsequent development of VRL with/without CNSL during the observation period.
