Clinical imaging·2021

This case study details a patient diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma affecting nerve roots. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) was crucial for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Oncology
Radiology

Background:

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare condition involving lymphoma infiltration of peripheral nerves.
Differentiating neurolymphomatosis from other neuropathies, like diabetic amyotrophy, can be challenging.

Observation:

A 55-year-old male with diabetes presented with progressive right leg pain and weakness.
Initial imaging showed a sciatic nerve mass; biopsy was inconclusive.
FDG-PET/CT identified the extent of disease and guided a second biopsy.

Findings:

The diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving lumbosacral nerve roots.
The patient achieved a partial response after chemotherapy.
Complete metabolic response was observed after radiation therapy for residual disease.

Keywords:

Neurolymphomatosis PET/CT

Implications:

FDG-PET/CT is valuable for diagnosing and staging neurolymphomatosis.
This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in complex neurological presentations.
Multimodal treatment including chemotherapy and radiation can be effective for neurolymphomatosis.
