Abstract

We present the integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving the breast in two women. They were admitted with palpable breast masses. PET/MRI revealed high (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in multinodular enhancing masses without other FDG-avid foci. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed restricted water diffusion and dynamic contrast MRI showed rapid increase and washout kinetics. High FDG accumulation in tumor is related to washout kinetics. We present the usefulness of integrated PET/MRI for lesion characterization and total body staging in breast lymphoma.
