Area of Science:

  • Neuroradiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma diagnosis is challenging due to diverse presentations and locations.
  • The wide range of imaging findings can obscure the correct diagnosis.
  • Clinical presentation may not always suggest CNS lymphoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges in CNS lymphoma.
  • To demonstrate how recent advancements in imaging, particularly MR, aid in recognizing tumor spread.
  • To provide examples of improved diagnostic capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging findings in CNS lymphoma.
  • Comparison of diagnostic capabilities of CT and MR imaging.
  • Focus on MR's ability to detect tumor spread in various compartments.

Main Results:

  • Advanced MR imaging allows for noninvasive recognition of CNS lymphoma spread.
  • Improved visualization of intraspinal and intracranial leptomeningeal tumor spread.
  • Enhanced detection of subdural tumor deposits using MR.

Conclusions:

  • Recent advancements in diagnostic imaging, especially MR, have significantly improved the recognition of CNS lymphoma spread.
  • These imaging techniques overcome previous limitations in visualizing tumor extent.
  • Improved detection facilitates earlier and more accurate diagnosis of CNS lymphoma.
