Abstract

A 70-year-old man with cerebellar syndromes was clinically diagnosed as paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and underwent whole-body F-FDG PET/CT imaging for screening primary tumor. Intensely elevated tracer uptake in both cerebellar hemispheres was revealed, whereas no abnormality was found in MRI.

Pathological examination demonstrated lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the left tonsil.
