Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics of Primary Central Nervous System T-cell Lymphoma

چکیده
Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSLs) are rare non‐Hodgkin tumors defined as lymphomas of the central nervous system (CNS) without primary tumor elsewhere. It was reported that PCNSLs represented only 3–7% of primary brain tumors and 1–5% of all lymphomas.[1,2] Most of PCNSLs are B-cell lymphomas, while T-cell PCNSL (T-PCNSL) is extremely rare, the majority of the reported T-PCNSL cases are clinically sporadic that focus on the treatment, and its imaging features have rarely been described.[1,3,4] Herein, we report a case of T-PCNSL and comprehensively summarize its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics. It is the first time in China to focus on the MRI diagnosis of T-PCNSL.

Modern techniques of magnetic resonance in the evaluation of primary central nervous system lymphoma: contributions to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
In addition to findings from conventional magnetic resonance imaging, modern magnetic resonance imaging techniques have provided important information about tumor metabolism, in vivo metabolite formation, water molecule diffusion, microvascular density, and blood-brain barrier permeability, all of which have improved the in vivo diagnostic accuracy of this method in the evaluation of primary ce...
متن کاملNear Misdiagnosis of Glioblastoma as Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, most frequently a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, is a rare aggressive lymphoma confined to the CNS, thus requiring differentiation from other brain malignancies such as glioblastoma. Although stereotactic biopsy can confirm the diagnosis, this is invasive, not always feasible and can be inconclusive after steroid use. Hence, cranial magnetic resona...
