Therefore, calcifications must be considered as a useful imaging characteristic to differentiate PCNSL from other intracranial tumors that have a tendency to calcify.

Although, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the 'notch sign' and 'open ring sign' in PCNSL and the specificity for the differential diagnosis needs to be tested in a large series of brain tumors.
