Recurrent malignant pilomatrixoma invading the cranial cavity: Improved local control with adjuvant radiation.

abstract：:The use of Positron emission tomography/computerised tomography (PET/CT) is well established in the staging and assessment of treatment response of lymphoma. Recent studies have suggested that whole body diffusion-weighted imaging -magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DW-MRI) may be an alternative to PET/CT in both staging ...
