Utility of Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Patients with Fever of Unknown Origin Diagnosed as Lymphoma
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO), who were finally diagnosed as lymphoma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed in the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine of Zhejiang University, China, from March 2...
متن کاملLiver Tuberculosis Presenting as an Uncommon Cause of Pyrexia of Unknown Origin: Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Identifies the Correct Site for Biopsy
OBJECTIVE To identify the correct site to biopsy in a case of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) caused by hepatic tuberculosis (TB). CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 58-year-old man who developed hepatic TB presented with PUO. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed only calcifications in the liver, and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT showed diffuse...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملExtramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Gallbladder Detected on Fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
Extramedullary plasmacytoma is rare in patients with diagnosed multiple myeloma. Soft tissue plasmacytoma of the gallbladder is particularly uncommon and has been described in only a handful of cases. Diagnosis of gallbladder plasmacytoma with fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F18-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has not previously been reported. We present a 65-year...
متن کاملA case of carcinosarcoma of the esophagus detected on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
A 56-year-old woman who received surgery for left breast cancer 10 years previously underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) for postoperative follow-up. FDG-PET revealed high uptake of tracer in the esophagogastric junction. A slightly elevated, lobular lesion was found in the lower third of the esophagus on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. An endoscopic biopsy ...
