Dural MALT Lymphoma Detected by 11C-Methionine PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2017 Dec;42(12):962-963. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001843.

Abstract

A 53-year-old man had a diagnosis of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas of the dura in the left tentorium. The patient underwent whole-body F-FDG PET/CT and C-methionine PET/CT in order to complete the staging of dural mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. C-methionine uptake was detected in multiple meningeal sites, including left tentorium, with no significant FDG uptake in the same regions.
