Abstract
The distinction between primary central nervous
system (CNS) lymphoma and nonmalignant lesions due to
opportunistic infections, in particular cerebral toxoplasmosis,
is important because of the different treatments
involved. A 32-year-old patient with AIDS was hospitalized
for intermittent headaches. Brain magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) showed a small well-enhanced nodular
lesion in the right frontal lobe. A fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose
(F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/
computed tomography (CT) scan showed moderate FDG
uptake in the nodular lesion of the right frontal lobe. We
present a case of cerebral toxoplasmosis in a patient with
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the
usefulness of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the differential
diagnosis of the cerebral toxoplasmosis will be discussed.
