title: Fusion PET-CT detection of neurolymphomatosis originating from primary breast lymphoma: A case report and literature review.
abstract: Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is an extremely rare manifestation. Involvement of the cranial and peripheral nerves is an unusual manifestation of NL which is occasionally difficult to diagnose using conventional imaging modalities. A 45-year-old female in complete remission from primary breast lymphoma presented with multiple neurological symptoms. (18)F-FDG PET/CT revealed multiple nodular hypermetabolic lesions along the cranial and peripheral nerves, which corresponded to the patient's neurological symptoms. These findings suggest that (18)F-FDG PET/CT successfully detects the infiltration of cranial and peripheral nerves by lymphoma.
