- Abstract
Primary lymphoma of the sphenoid is an extremely rare pathology, therefore it is difficult to hypothesize and the imaging characteristics are not well-known. Here we report the imaging features in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) scan of a 44-year-old patient who presented with severe headache. CT and MRI showed a sphenoid sinus mass that suggested rhinopharyngeal lesion or a chordoma. However, biopsy from the mass histologically proved it to be Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and PET examinations revealed increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake around the sphenoid bone and multiple spinal lesions.
