Abstract

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is extremely rare in immunocompetent children. We present the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) findings of such a case in a 14-year old immunocompetent boy. In this patient, PCNSL was associated with lymphomatosis cerebri. Familiarity with the findings of this rare condition will improve the diagnostic confidence of the nuclear radiologist and avoid misdiagnosis.

Resumen

El linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central (LPSNC) es extremadamente raro en niños inmunocompetentes. Presentamos los hallazgos de la imagen de resonancia magnética (MRI) y de tomografía por emisión de positrones-tomografía computarizada (PET-TC) con 18F-FDG en un niño inmunocompetente de 14 años de edad. En este paciente el LPSNC se asoció con linfomatosis cerebri. Estar familiarizado con los hallazgos de esta rara afectación mejorará la confianza diagnóstica del médico nuclear y evitará un diagnóstico erróneo.
