Abstract
Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) is a type of skin T-cell lymphoma with a favorable prognosis. Some patients may experience recurrence, but systemic involvement is rare. Some studies suggest that systemic progression is associated with poor prognosis. The value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing lymphoma has been recognized, but there is often controversy over the application value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in pcALCL. We present a rare case of pcALCL involving multiple systemic lesions, monitored and evaluated using 18F-FDG PET/CT to assist in clinical treatment decisions. Through this case, we consider that 18F-FDG PET/CT has significant value in diagnosing pcALCL. However, more clinical cases are needed to confirm whether high FDG uptake is associated with the invasiveness of pcALCL and the impact of high FDG uptake and Ki-67 expression on the progression and prognosis of pcALCL.
期刊介绍:
The scope of AJNMMI encompasses all areas of molecular imaging, including but not limited to: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), molecular magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, etc. AJNMMI welcomes original and review articles on both clinical investigation and preclinical research. Occasionally, special topic issues, short communications, editorials, and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.
