Hematologic neoplasms that affects central nervous system (CNS) includes a broad spectrum of radiological appearances. Lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia can mimic many other pathologies of brain and spine and should be included in the differential diagnosis for almost any lesion in these structures. Knowledge of traditional and advanced imaging techniques and their findings is key to making the diagnosis and follow treatment response. The major teaching points of this exhibit are: To review typical and atypical presentations of CNS hematologic neoplasms at traditional computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) To show characteristic  findings with advanced imaging techniques To illustrate differences between CNS hematologic neoplasms and their principal differential diagnosis  

Lymphoma CT and  MR Findings  Intracranial Lymphoma Intravascular Lymphoma Ocular and Orbital Lymphoma Spinal Lymphoma Myeloma CT and MR Findings   Cranial Affectation  Spinal Myeloma  Plasmocytoma  POEMS Syndrome Leukemia CT and  MR Findings Osseous Affectation Meningeal Disease Intravascular Agregates Choloroma Functional Imaging Findings Diffusion, Perfusion and Spectroscopic Imaging Differential Diagnosis
