PET and fusion images showed bilateral pathological increased FDG uptake in trigeminal nerves with a SUVmax of 8.9 (arrows) consistent with lymphoma involvement. There were also increased FDG accumulation (SUVmax = 6,4) at the D1 spinal nerve root and slightly increased tracer uptake at the spinal cord located from the level of D12 to cauda equine suggestive of disease recurrence

PET and fusion images showed bilateral pathological intense FDG uptake in trigeminal nerves with a SUVmax of 16,6 [Figure 1, arrows].
(a and b) Cranial MRI showed increased signal intensity and thickening of the trigeminal nerves (arrow), suspicious of lymphomatous involvement
