We have reported 14 primary @entity1893 of the brain seen in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, between 1975 and 1983. Eleven @entity1 had @entity4812 while the remaining 3 were lymphocytic. The clinical presentations were extremely variable, with @entity428 (60%) and focal @entity51 (60%) being most common. The most frequent appearance on computed tomographic scan was a hyperdense lesion of the cerebrum (44%); four cases had @entity75 . All @entity1 had subtotal resection of the @entity5 . Two @entity1 had surgery only and their mean survival was 3.5 months. Ten @entity1 received whole brain irradiation, with 2 @entity1 receiving a boost to the primary @entity5 site as well. The mean survival was 24.7 months. Two @entity1 received chemotherapy in addition to radiotherapy and their mean survival was 20.0 months. Three of the 14 @entity1 have had an inordinately long disease-free survival of 64, 75, and 80 months from the time of diagnosis.
