ABSTRACT
A 70-year-old man presented with two months of worsening cognitive impairment, hallucinations, and difficulty speaking, with superimposed headaches. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was notable for lymphocytic pleocytosis and elevated protein. Imaging studies revealed multiple acute and subacute infarcts with cortical microhemorrhages. The patient underwent a stereotactic brain biopsy. In this article, we discuss the patient's differential diagnosis, pathologic findings, ultimate diagnosis, and clinical outcome.
