MR Spectroscopy and Diffusion Weighted Imaging Findings of Primary Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Breast: Two Case Reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the breast is a rare clinical entity, representing about 0.40.5% of all breast malignancies and 1.7-2.2% of all extranodal NHL (1-3). We describe two cases of primary breast lymphomas in a middle aged woman and discuss characteristics of classical findings of classical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR spectroscopy and diffusion weighted (DW) imaging as well as mammography and ultrasonography.

Comparison between MRS and DWI in MRI of breast cancer
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) in people throughout the world. Today, MRI is being used because of the limitations of x-ray mammography to detect breast cancer. Non-contrast sequences were associated to CE sequences in a breast MRI protocol for the sake of appraising morphologic ...

We report the case of a 26-year-old man with precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis that was diagnosed on the basis of MR imaging findings and was proved post mortem. In our MR imaging studies, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images and diffusion-weighted echo-planar images clearly depicted bilateral involvement of the medial temporal ...

New MR techniques: diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) are increasingly used in clinical radiologic practice and may help to differentiate CNS lymphomas from other lesions of the brain (1,2). Diffusion-weighted MRI is a powerful tool in characterization of brain neoplasms. DWI measures the diffusion of water molecules in biologic tissues; diffusion within the tumor is con...
