[Abstract] Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) has unique imaging manifestations. Based on the summary of literature case statistics and the latest research evidence, we formed the updated imaging diagnostic recommendation: MRI without and with contrast scanning is the strongly recommended examination methods for AIDS-related PCNSL. Imaging signs or findings summarized as follows: THREE HIGH, increased diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal in solid parts of the tumor, high density of CT without contrast, and basically uniform enhancement. TWO LOW, hypo-intensity of ADC maps, iso-or hypo-intensity of T1WI without contrast and T2WI. THREE COMMON, mostly located in the midline structural area of the brain, often manifested as multiple, cystic changes. The special MRI enhancement was characterized by "Notch sign" "Sharp Angle sign" "Snow-holding sign" and "Jagged or Spinous shape". For clinical suspected cases, such as imaging examination in accordance with the above findings, can be used as the imaging diagnostic criteria of AIDS related PCNSL, so as to provide a rich, accurate diagnostic information for clinical with a definite diagnosis, effectively to improve the ability of AIDS related PCNSL early diagnosis, in order to easily form the optimal decision scheme, and to achieve truly early and precise treatment.
