Detection of widespread neurolymphomatosis with 18F-FDG PET

A brain MRI of a 21-year-old male with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma revealed lymphomatous infiltration in bilateral cavernous sinuses and fifth cranial nerves. Whole-body18F-FDG PET revealed increased FDG uptake in the entire left brachial and right lumbosacral plexus, the proximal portion of the l...

Description
Summary:A brain MRI of a 21-year-old male with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma revealed lymphomatous infiltration in bilateral cavernous sinuses and fifth cranial nerves. Whole-body18F-FDG PET revealed increased FDG uptake in the entire left brachial and right lumbosacral plexus, the proximal portion of the left lumbosacral plexus and areas around the cervical cord.
