title: Presymptomatic brain lesions on MRI in a patient with intravascular malignant lymphomatosis.
abstract: A 58-year-old man with a intravascular malignant lymphomatosis initially developed myeloradiculopathy without cerebral symptoms. His MRI, however, demonstrated solid, wedge-shaped, and well-demarcated lesions in the deep white matter and a string-shaped lesion along with nerve fibers in the splenium of corpus callosum. A variety of cerebral symptoms manifested a month afterward. The possibility of this disease should be considered in cases of undiagnosed myeloradiculopathy with such silent brain lesions.
