Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the imaging features of neurologic involvement in hematologic malignancies. Neurologic involvement can be seen in lymphoma, leukemia, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), plasma cell neoplasms, and histiocytic and dendritic neoplasms. Imaging, MRI in particular, plays an important role in the workup of these patients. Familiarity with the imaging features of nervous system involvement in hematologic malignancies can help radiologists suggest the diagnosis and guide management.
