MRI and neurological complications of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
We report the assessment by MRI of a lumbosacral lymphomatous localization of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) with human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 infection in an African patient. Brain MRI detected associated multifocal lesions of increased signal intensity in the subcortical white matter. These MRI abnormalities are compatible with reported necropsy findings in cases of ATLL with neurological complications.
