Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma with diffuse FDG uptake in the lung by (18)FDG-PET/CT without chest CT findings

We report a rare case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) with diffuse fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung by (18)FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). CT showed nodular shadow, whereas diffuse FDG uptake in PET/CT suggested IVLBCL in the lung. A random s...

description We report a rare case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) with diffuse fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung by (18)FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). CT showed nodular shadow, whereas diffuse FDG uptake in PET/CT suggested IVLBCL in the lung. A random skin biopsy provided histological evidence of IVLBCL. The patient responded well to combination chemotherapy. Only two cases of IVLBCL in which diffuse pulmonary FDG uptake was demonstrated have been reported previously. FDG-PET/CT plus random skin biopsy may be useful for the early diagnosis of IVLBCL with pulmonary involvement even without convincing radiological findings in the lung.
