Peritoneal Super Scan on 18F-FDG PET/CT in two patients with Lymphoma

Peritoneal lymphomatosis is an extremely rare presentation of lymphoma. Due to its relative low frequency, it receives much less attention than peritoneal carcinomatosis. The challenge is to differentiate between lymphomatosis and carcinomatosis, as well as peritoneal tuberculosis or other pathologic entities within the peritoneal cavity based essentially on radiologic features. 18</...

Scar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT

18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...

18F-FDG-PET/CT in lymphoma: two decades of experience.

The use of (18)F-FDG-PET/CT has changed the management of patients with lymphoma for the last two decades. This technique improves initial staging of the disease, making a prognostic approach and appropriate treatment planning, as well as monitoring therapy response of lymphoma. However, there are still controversial issues in medical literature that impact on daily clinical practice. This comp...

Rare ocular and skin lesions of Marginal Zone Lymphoma detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT

We report a case of a 75-year old man that came at hematologist’s attention for lymphoma evaluation due to axillary lymph node enlargement and fever. Thorax, abdomen and pelvis Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) showed lymph nodes, spleen and liver lesions. Axillary lymph node biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) at stage IV was postulated, then the p...
