intravascular large b-cell lymphoma (ivlbcl) is a rare and aggressive subtype of systemic extranodal non-hodgkin diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl). we report a rare case of ivlbcl who showed diffuse 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg) uptake in the lung in fdg-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (pet/ct) without respiratory symptoms or chest ct abnormalities. serum biochemical studies...

Diffuse (99m)Tc-sestimibi uptake in the lungs is a sign of serious pathology and merits further work-up. We present a case in which diffuse lung uptake was incidentally found on a parathyroid scan.

A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with asthenia, weight loss, fever, cognitive impairment and shortness of breath. Physical examination showed hemiparesis and cerebellar ataxia. There was no superficial lymphadenopathy. Blood tests showed raised levels of C-reactive protein and lactate dehydrogenase. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were negative. [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-p...

Amyloidosis results from proteins being deposited as insoluble β-pleated sheets and disrupting organ function. Each precursor protein induces a separate spectrum of organ involvement, and different disease manifestations within the lung. Although autopsy findings often demonstrate amyloid deposits in various compartments of the lung, few are manifested pathologically. Amyloid lung nodules with ...

Gallium-67 citrate (67Ga) scintigraphy has been used as an indicator of activity of diffuse interstitial lung diseases. However, little has been mentioned in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Here we present a 53-year-old man with PAP showing patchy 67Ga uptake by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Interestingly, the strong 67Ga uptake was observed in areas where ground-gla...

the technique of transbronchial lung biopsy (tblb) has expanded the diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy . in this article we are presenting 54 patients with diffuse pulmonary parenchymal involvement who underwent this procedure during six years between june 1980 and december 1989. the diagnostic yield of this technique in diffuse pulmonary parenchymal disease is great and was 66 percent excluding ...
