A 59-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as an anterior mediastinal mass underwent PET/CT after 2 cycles of chemotherapy. PET/CT shows moderately increased FDG uptake in a predominantly left prevascular mass, consistent with partially treated lymphoma. The left hemidiaphragm is elevated. PET shows asymmetric uptake along the right hemidiaphragm, which is hypothesized to represent compensatory increased workload related to contralateral left diaphragmatic paresis. The left diaphragmatic paresis is likely caused by phrenic nerve involvement by left prevascular mass.

A 36-year-old Indian man, a recently diagnosed case of the right lung carcinoma underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) for staging of the malignancy. PET/CT showed increased FDG uptake in the right lung mass, consistent with the known primary tumor. Right hemidiaphragm was found to be elevated on CT, suggesting right diaphragmatic paresis. The PET scan demonstrated asymmetric, intense FDG uptake in the left hemidiaphragm and accessory muscles of respiration, which was possibly due to compensatory increased workload related to contralateral right diaphragmatic paresis. The right diaphragmatic paresis was hypothesized to be caused by phrenic nerve palsy by right lung neoplasm.

An 8-year-old girl presented with back and leg pain and left arm and leg paresis. Lumbar puncture was suggestive of lymphocytic meningitis without identified organism. A second lumbar puncture demonstrated a large number of lymphoid B cells, with positive immunohistochemical staining for CD20 and CD25, proving the diagnosis of neurolymphomatosis. Brain and spine MRI demonstrated involvement of cervical and lumbosacral nerve roots. FDG PET/CT showed multiple bone metastases in addition to nerve involvement. Postchemotherapy FDG PET/CT demonstrated complete metabolic response.
