We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with known Hodgkins lymphoma who presented with PET/CT findings of a breast mass and diseased axillary lymph node despite negative results from a recent routine mammogram and ultrasound. Needle biopsy of the mass and lymph node confirmed a diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast with nodal metastases.

Significant elevations in plasma/serum lipid bound sialic acid (LSA) concentrations have been documented in patients with malignant diseases. Initial studies indicate that LSA may be a useful marker in cancer of the prostate, bladder, breast, lung, colon, ovary and in leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease and melanoma. The data suggest that the LSA test lacks the required sensitivity and specifi...

The pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide was studied in 10 Kenyan Africans with Hodgkins lymphoma. The mean +/- s.d. elimination half-life (t1/2) was 7.5 +/- 1.38 h. The mean +/- s.d. volume of the central compartment (V1) was 0.35 +/- 0.12 l/kg and the apparent volume of distribution (V) was 0.64 +/- 0.06 l/kg. The microconstants k21, k12 and k10 were 1.81 +/- 0.84 h-1, 1.90 +/- 1.080 h-1 and ...
