Enhancement pattern of demyelination‐mimicking cerebral B‐cell lymphoma

Central nervous system (CNS) B‐cell lymphoma‐mimicking demyelinating diseases creates a diagnostic dilemma. This study aimed to determine the specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of CNS B‐cell lymphoma to facilitate the early identification of the disease.
