Primary Epstein–Barr virus infection diffusing F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography response monitoring of Hodgkin’s disease: a case report
INTRODUCTION Hodgkin's disease is highly curable by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, but refractory disease or early relapses are rarely cured by conventional salvage therapy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 20-year-old Caucasian man, with a biopsy-proven intrapulmonary relapse of Hodgkin's disease, for whom salvage chemotherapy was administered. During salvage chemotherapy intense i...
متن کاملF-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: a case report
Introduction: This case of giant cell arteritis is noteworthy because it evaded standard diagnostic criteria and only emerged as fever of unknown origin. In this regard, we present F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a valid diagnostic method. Case presentation: This case report describes a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who is a cigarette smoker with a 10-week history of fever of...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Scan: A Case Report
Background: Hibernoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor arising from brown fat that cannot be distinguished from other lipogenic tumors on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. On the other hand, the image of hibernoma on 18 Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET) is different from that of other lipogenic tumors. However, fewer studies have ...
متن کامل18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-positive sarcoidosis after chemoradiotherapy for Hodgkin’s disease: a case report
INTRODUCTION The occurrence of granulomatous disease in the setting of Hodgkin's disease is rare; however, when it occurs it can pose significant clinical and diagnostic challenges for physicians treating these patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 33-year-old Caucasian woman of Mediterranean descent with newly diagnosed 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomogra...
