Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is an extremely rare manifestation. Involvement of the cranial and peripheral nerves is an unusual manifestation of NL which is occasionally difficult to diagnose using conventional imaging modalities. A 45-year-old female in complete remission from primary breast lymphoma presented with multiple neurological symptoms. (18)F-FDG PET/CT revealed multiple nodular hypermetabolic lesions along the cranial and peripheral nerves, which corresponded to the patient's neurological symptoms. These findings suggest that (18)F-FDG PET/CT successfully detects the infiltration of cranial and peripheral nerves by lymphoma.
神经淋巴瘤(NL)是一种极其罕见的表现形式。颅神经和周围神经受累是NL的一种不寻常表现,使用传统成像方式有时难以诊断。一名45岁女性,原发性乳腺淋巴瘤已完全缓解,出现多种神经症状。(18)F-FDG PET/CT显示沿颅神经和周围神经有多个结节状高代谢病变,与患者的神经症状相符。这些发现表明,(18)F-FDG PET/CT成功检测到淋巴瘤对颅神经和周围神经的浸润。
