Abstract

Thirty-six year old male patient with pathological fracture of the left tibia underwent intramedullary and soft tissue curettage. The histopathological examination revealed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The patient underwent F18-FDG PET-CT scanning for initial staging. FDG PET-CT scan revealed hypermetabolic lesions at the left tibia and in bilateral kidneys. After the systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy to the tibia, repeated FDG PET/CT scan showed improvement of the previous hypermetabolic lesions, suggesting good response to therapy. Bone and renal involvement is an uncommon variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and FDG PET-CT is an useful whole body imaging modality in these cases. Otuz altı yaşındaki erkek hastaya sol tibiasında patolojik kırık nedeniyle yapılan intramedüller ve yumuşak doku küretaj biyopsisi sonucu diffüz büyük B-hücreli lenfoma gelmesi üzerine, başlangıç evrelemesi için F18-FDG PET-BT incelemesi uygulandı. FDG PET-BT incelenmesinde sol tibia distalinde ve bilateral böbreklerde hipermetabolik tutulum izlendi. Sistemik kemoterapi ve sol tibiaya lokal radyoterapi yapıldıktan sonra tekrar edilen FDG PET-BT incelemesinde önceki hipermetabolik tutulumların düzeldiğinin görülmesi iyi yanıt varlığını düşündürdü. Kemik ve böbreklerde nadir tutulum gösteren diffüz büyük B-hücreli lenfomalarda FDG PET-BT tüm vücut görüntüleme yararlı bir tekniktir.
