title: High [18F]FDG uptake in primary cerebral lymphoma: a PET study.
abstract: Two cases of primary intracranial malignant lymphoma with high uptake of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose [( 18F]FDG) are reported. Malignant lymphomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of brain tumors with high [18F]FDG uptake in positron emission tomography studies.
