Extensive Isolated Intracranial Recurrence of Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma on FDG PET Imaging

Key Points

To describe a unique case of isolated intracranial recurrence of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.
Case report of a 15-year-old girl
Use of PET imaging for diagnosis
Assessment of recurrence after remission
Confirmed isolated recurrence in the brain
Initial remission from lymphoma before recurrence
Uncommon presentation involving the central nervous system

Abstract

Recurrent lymphoma tends to recur at the initial site of involvement or spread to the lymph nodes, but rarely involves the central nervous system. We present an interesting case of isolated recurrence of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma in the brain, confirmed on PET imaging, in a 15-year-old girl previously in remission.
