Central nervous system (CNS) is a rare site of involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Therapeutic approach for primary and secondary CNS NHL is different and remains challenging. Therefore imaging data are essential at staging to discriminate these 2 clinical entities and during follow-up to assess therapy response. The adjunct role of positron emission tomography using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose to morphologic imaging is still undefined. We report 2 didactic cases of primary and secondary CNS NHL assessed by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Metabolic imaging seems to be complementary to conventional imaging techniques for the extent-of-disease evaluation and therapy monitoring of CNS lesions.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.

D019788 Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 The compound is given by intravenous injection to do POSITRON-EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY for the assessment of cerebral and myocardial glucose metabolism in various physiological or pathological states including stroke and myocardial ischemia. It is also employed for the detection of malignant tumors including those of the brain, liver, and thyroid gland.
