Abstract:
18F-FDG-PET/MR images, including DWI, of a 46-year-old male admitted to the Emergency Room of our tertiary center, who was suffering from diplopia, left orbital pain, and a headache for two weeks, demonstrated multiple hepatic nodules, a pancreatic mass, and skeletal metastases, in addition to thrombosis of the left cavernous sinus, thickening of the small intestine, and a large hepatic lesion identified at head and neck MR and whole-body CT, respectively. Hepatic and bone marrow biopsies revealed the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma. After four cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, methotrexate/ifosfamide, etoposide, and high dose cytarabine (R- CODOX-M/IVAC), a complete metabolic response occurred.
