T2-weighted MRI with right temporal arachnoid cyst with signs of intracystic hemorrhage (a). Postoperative control-MRI shows total resection of the tumoral tissue within the cyst (b). Initial intraoperative endoscopy showed a thick, yellowish lining of the inner wall of the cyst, (c) which was removed under endoscopy (d) with eventual total resection (e)

Microscopic pathology. Islands of atypical blastic lymphoid cells are embedded in abundant fibrin (a). The cells are diffusely positive for CD20 (b), highly proliferative in the Mib-1 (c) stain and show strong positivity for BCL2 (d), IRF-4 (e) and EBV-associated RNA (f). Scale bars represent 30 μm
