MR imaging in patients with primary thyroid lymphoma.

چکیده
The authors describe two patients with thyroid lymphoma and Hashimoto thyroiditis; T1- and T2-weighted MR sequences were used. In one patient, the region of lymphoma showed a different signal intensity on T2 images; in the other patient, the signal level was identical to the Hashimoto disease. In sum, the processes could not be significantly differentiated using MR.

Introduction: Although PET scanning using F-18[FDG] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, Gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. One of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of Gallium is to perform SPECT which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. In this study we compa...
متن کاملFluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in primary thyroid lymphoma with coexisting lymphocytic thyroiditis.
BACKGROUND Primary thyroid lymphoma is an uncommon neoplasm frequently associated with lymphocytic thyroiditis (LT). Once the pathologic diagnosis of primary thyroid lymphoma is established, imaging plays an important role in tumor staging and evaluating treatment response. The present case discusses the role of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/computed tomography (...
متن کاملIdentification of primary thyroid lymphoma with medical imaging: A case report and review of the literature
Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare thyroid malignancy. Clinical diagnosis of PTL may not be easily established based on imaging studies, as the imaging features of PTL are similar to those of lymphocytic thyroiditis and primary thyroid cancer. The present study describes the case of a patient who was confirmed to have PTL by intra-operative pathological diagnosis. On color Doppler ultraso...
