Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is typically characterized by a slow-growing course. Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (D-FL) was recently reclassified as a distinct variant. This subtype exhibits unique clinical and biological characteristics, which set it apart from other forms of FL. We report a case of a 36-year-old male patient with multiple, small, gray polypoid lesions in the descending duodenum which were detected by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The pathological diagnosis was low-grade D-FL. 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed for staging and revealed the pancreas and peripheral lymph nodes were involved by FL, with a clinical IV stage. The patient underwent a bone marrow smear cytology, which revealed no bone marrow abnormalities, and excluded bone marrow involvement. He was treated with six cycles of chemotherapy using the R-CHOP regimen and reached complete remission.
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.
