pubmed:abstractText
Two cases of histologically proven primary cerebral malignant lymphoma were examined serially with positron emission tomography (PET) using 11C-methyl-L-methionine (11C Met). Lesions delineated by 11C Met accumulation extended beyond enhancing areas on either X-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging. High uptake of 11C Met accurately showed biologically active and residual tumours, at a time when disappearance of a contrast-enhancing lesion on CT seemed to indicate involution. PET provides valuable information on the extent of tumour and assessment of radiotherapy in malignant lymphoma.
