Use of (18)F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT in the management of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma

The prognosis and preferred management of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma is dependent on whether lymphoproliferative cells are confined to within the fibrous capsule, in an effusion or lining the fibrous capsule, or if there is spread beyond the capsule in the form of a mas...

Sumario:The prognosis and preferred management of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma is dependent on whether lymphoproliferative cells are confined to within the fibrous capsule, in an effusion or lining the fibrous capsule, or if there is spread beyond the capsule in the form of a mass lesion. We describe a case where (18)F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT was used to confirm localized disease and guide management decisions.
