Abstract

In a patient suffering from peripheral neuropathy due to neurolymphomatosis, fused PET-CT imaging, performed on a novel in-line PET-CT system, showed multiple small nodular lesions extending along the peripheral nerves corresponding to an early relapse of a transformed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
