Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is extremely rare in immunocompetent children. We present the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) findings of such a case in a 14-year old immunocompetent boy. In this patient, PCNSL was associated with lymphomatosis cerebri. Familiarity with the findings of this rare condition will improve the diagnostic confidence of the nuclear radiologist and avoid misdiagnosis.
原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤(PCNSL)在免疫功能正常的儿童中极为罕见。我们展示了一名14岁免疫功能正常男孩的这种病例的磁共振成像(MRI)和(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖((18)F-FDG)正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)结果。在该患者中,PCNSL与脑淋巴瘤病相关。熟悉这种罕见病症的表现将提高核放射科医生的诊断信心并避免误诊。
