RESUMO
A pseudolymphomatous reaction involving subcutaneous tissue and underlying skeletal muscle is described in a woman who was receiving phenytoin sodium and phenobarbitone. The histological appearance was of nodular, densely cellular tissue composed of histiocytes, plasma cells, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and occasional polymorphonuclear cells. The significance of this finding is briefly considered in relation to the existing literature.

Thirty five patients presenting with epilepsy alone and non-enhancing low-density lesion on the CT scan underwent a computer-assisted CT-guided stereotactic biopsy with stereotactic angiographic control. There was no mortality or morbidity in this series and the diagnostic yield was 97%. Thirty four patients had low grade intra-axial neoplasms. After an estimation of the pathological extent of the tumour, three patients underwent a computer-assisted stereotactic laser resection and 28 patients had radiotherapy.
