title: Isolated cerebellar hypermetabolism on FDG PET in a case of remitted primary breast lymphoma.
abstract: We present here a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast that succumbed in a sub-acute course to death after three months of initial remission. The fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging during the declining clinical status showed isolated cerebellar hypermetabolism.
