Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV+) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a clinical entity rarely reported in young immunocompetent patients. Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old female with no history of immunosuppression or immunodeficiency, who presented with a ring-enhancing lesion in the right basal ganglia. The tumor generated significant vasogenic edema and mass effect, causing midline shift, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and rapidly progressive neurologic dysfunction. She underwent gross total resection of the tumor through a tubular retractor. Her tumor was of the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtype of PCNSL and was positive for EBV. No immunodeficiency or extracranial disease was identified. After adjuvant therapy with high-dose methotrexate, rituximab, and temozolomide, she remains disease-free two years after initial presentation. EBV+ PCNSL, although rare in young immunocompetent adults, poses unique clinical challenges and may require surgical intervention in the acute setting in some cases.
