18 Fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in initial staging and response assessment of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the tibia

Primary lymphoma of the bone is a rare clinical presentation constituting to <1% of all lymphomas. The long bones are usually involved. Combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiation offers long-term survival. The authors present the role of 18 fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission to...

Sumario:Primary lymphoma of the bone is a rare clinical presentation constituting to <1% of all lymphomas. The long bones are usually involved. Combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiation offers long-term survival. The authors present the role of 18 fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computerized tomography in initial staging and response assessment in a case of primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the tibia.
