Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of hydroxyurea in treating patients with Epstein-Barr virus-associated primary CNS lymphoma and AIDS
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Estimate the objective response rate of PCNSL in AIDS patients treated with hydroxyurea II Investigate whether levels of Epstein-Barr virus EBV DNA in the blood or cerebral spinal fluid are correlates of PCNSL disease activity

OUTLINE This is an open label pilot study Patients receive oral hydroxyurea tid A course of hydroxyurea consists of 4 weeks of therapy On day 28 after the first course of treatment tumor size is analyzed by MRI If no reduction in tumor size is seen on day 28 hydroxyurea dose is increased If a CR or PR is demonstrated patients continue on the same treatment at the original dose MRI evaluation is again taken on day 56 of treatment Patients with progressive disease at this evaluation are considered to have no treatment response

PROJECTED ACCRUAL 15-25 patients will be enrolled Approximately 8-10 patients will be accrued annually
