T-cell lymphoma showing a non-enhancing diffuse white matter lesion with marked brain atrophy.
We report an autopsy case of T-cell lymphoma with diffuse white matter infiltration. Cranial magnetic resonance (MR) images showed atrophy of the brain with a diffuse, non-enhancing, T2-high signal intensity lesion in the cerebral white matter. Intra-axial infiltration of T-cell lymphoma should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with these MRI findings.
