High 18F-FDOPA PET Uptake in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

We present a 42-year-old woman with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and strong F-FDOPA PET uptake. F-FDOPA PET has high diagnostic accuracy in gliomas and brain metastases. The L-type amino acid transporter 1, targeted by F-FDOPA and C-MET PET, is a cell-type transporter usually upregulated in malignant tumors, including PCNSL. In this line, strong uptake was already shown with C-MET in PCNSL. We report the same findings with F-FDOPA. Consequently, PCNSL is a possible differential neoplastic diagnosis of F-FDOPA uptake among neoplastic lesions.
