18f-fdg pet/ct in neurolymphomatosis: report of 3 cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. this report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (pet/ct)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18f-fluoro-d-glucose (18f-fdg) in 3 cases of non-hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly diagnosed lymphoma, one recurrent lymphoma in previous nerve lesions and one newly recurrent lymphoma. pet/ct could reveal the affected neural structures including cranial nerves, spinal nerve roots, brachial plexus, cervicothoracic ganglion, intercostal nerves, branches of the vagus nerve, lumbosacral plexus and sciatic nerves.there was relative concordance between pet/ct and mri in detection of affected cranial nerves. pet/ct seemed to be better than mri in detection of affected peripheral nerves. 18f-fdg pet/ct was a whole-body imaging technique with the ability to reveal the affected cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots and plexus in non-hodgkin lymphoma. a thorough understanding of disease and use of advanced imaging modalities will increasingly detect neurolymphomatosis

Gliomas account for almost 80% of primary malignant brain tumors in adults. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is still the gold standard for diagnosis of brain tumors and brain 99mTc-tetrofosmin Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (99mTc-tetrofosmin-SPECT) has been established as a useful tool for their evaluation. Fluorine-18–2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emi...
متن کاملNeurolymphomatosis as a late relapse of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT: a case report.
Neurolymphomatosis is a rare condition defined as an infiltration of nerves, nerve roots or nervous plexuses by haematological malignancy. Its diagnosis may sometimes be difficult with conventional imaging techniques. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of this entity and the role of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in this indication. We present the case of a 53-year-old male who complained of sharp p...
