Özet

© 2022 by Turkish Society of Nuclear Medicine.A 56 years old woman with a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma had dyspnea, weakness in the left upper extremity and vocal cord paralysis after chemotherapy. She underwent cervical, thoracal and lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) however findings on MRI could not entirely explain the symptoms of the patient. Therefore, the patient underwent18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography and the scan revealed focal symmetrical18F-FDG uptake on the cervical, thoracal and lumbal spinal nerve roots. Considering the symptoms of the patient and cerebrospinal fluid cytology findings, hypermetabolic spinal nerve roots were interpreted as lymphoma involvement.
