Mycoplasma infection mimicking a malignancy in a waldenstrom macroglobulinemia patient

BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma hominis infection is common in urinary tract. (18)F-FDG-PET/CT is a valuable tool for tumor and infection diagnosis. Few studies have shown the (18)F-FDG-PET/CT images after mycoplasma infection. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we described a case of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia with...

description BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma hominis infection is common in urinary tract. (18)F-FDG-PET/CT is a valuable tool for tumor and infection diagnosis. Few studies have shown the (18)F-FDG-PET/CT images after mycoplasma infection. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we described a case of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia with thickened bladder wall. The (18)F-FDG-PET/CT showed the SUVmax up to 36.1 mimicking bladder cancer. The results of histopathological examination and metagenomic sequencing of the blood and urinary revealed the Mycoplasma hominis infection. CONCLUSION: The full consideration should be given to the possibility of infection besides tumor in lesions with high SUV value in (18)F-FDG-PET/CT, especially in immunodeficiency patients. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12879-023-08163-6.
