Primary dural lymphoma is a rare pathology, it is part of the malignant lymphoma of the central nervous system and it can reach the extradural or subdural space. We report a case of a little boy of three years and two months admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery CHU JRA for multiple swellings in the scalp associated with an altered general condition. The CT scan revealed a multiple extra-axial expansive process with retro-orbital extension responsible for an important exophthalmos as well as at the scalp level. Anatomopathological examination of the dura mater biopsy revealed a malignant non-Hodgkin's small cell lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy of 05 sessions and the evolution was marked by the persistence of the symptoms. The post chemotherapy brain scan showed considerable extension of the lesions. The next step would be radiotherapy.
