Abstract
We reported a 61-year-old man presented with 10-month progressing left sciatic neuropathy and 10-day right facial neuropathy. Serum amphiphysin-IgG was positive. 18F-FDG PET/CT of the whole body showed no signs of malignancy. Treatment with plasma exchange and oral prednisone relieved the symptoms. Nine months later, right hemiparesis and seizure of right limbs developed. 18F-FDG and 18F-PBR06 (18 kDa translocator protein, TSPO) radioligand PET/MRI of the whole body revealed intense uptake in the intracranial lesions. Intracranial lymphoma was diagnosed by stereotactic needle brain biopsy. Mononeuropathies could be paraneoplastic syndromes. TSPO shows high uptake in intracranial lymphoma on 18F-PBR06 PET images.
