Human herpes virus 8-unrelated primary effusion lymphoma-like lymphoma diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computer tomography and laparoscopy

چکیده
Human herpes virus 8-unrelated primary effusion lymphoma (PEL)-like lymphoma is a rare type of large B cell lymphoma. This report presents the case of a male with abdominal pain and distension who was found to have massive ascites and enhanced peritoneum, mesenterium and greater omentum on enhanced computer tomography (CT) scan with negative ascitic cytology. The diagnosis of PEL-like lymphoma was established by fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and laparoscopic biopsy of the greater omentum. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second case report to describe FDG PET/CT presentations of PEL-like lymphoma, and the first case report to use laparoscopy for diagnosis.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare type of lymphoma that arises in the body cavity without detectable masses. It is associated with human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Recently, PEL unrelated to viral infection has been reported and it has been termed HHV-8 unrelated primary effusion lymphoma-like lymphoma (HHV-8 unrelated PEL-l...

BACKGROUND Primary cardiac lymphoma is rare and can be an aggressive disease, depending on the grade. A case is reported of low-grade primary cardiac lymphoma associated with a pericardial effusion. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) imaging was useful in the diagnosis and in evaluating the disease activity in this case. CASE REPORT A 72-yea...

RATIONALE Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare disease of lymphomatous effusion in the body cavities in the absence of detectable mass and lymphadenopathy. PEL is predominantly related to the immunosuppressed patients infected with human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8). PEL-like lymphoma is negative for HHV-8 and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) unlike PEL. The pathogenesis and prognosis of PEL-l...
