“…Physical assessment may not be diagnostic, but it may appear with enlarged abdominal palpable mass depending the location and size of mass. struma ovarii should be diagnostically differentiated from other gynecological and abdominal more common pathologies such as ectopic pregnancy, hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, ovarian cyst, endometrioma or hydro salpinx (11). In laboratory study, hematological markers are usually in the normal range.…”

“…Recent studies conducted in Brazil have highlighted the importance of functional imaging with single-photon emission CT and PET/CT using 18 F-FDG to improving the diagnosis of several diseases ( 21 - 26 ) . In the present cross-sectional study, we have demonstrated an association between the presence of B symptoms and greater benign bone marrow uptake of 18 F-FDG in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.…”

ObjectiveTo compare the degree of benign bone marrow uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) between Hodgkin lymphoma patients with and without B symptoms.Materials and MethodsWe analyzed the medical charts of 74 Hodgkin lymphoma patients who underwent 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) prior to the initiation of therapy between October 2010 and September 2013. In all of the patients, the bone marrow biopsy was negative and the 18F-FDG PET/CT images did not suggest bone marrow involvement. Of the 74 patients evaluated, 54 presented inflammatory (B) symptoms and 20 did not. Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn on the sternum, the proximal thirds of the humeri, the proximal thirds of the femora, and both iliac wings (totaling seven ROIs per patient). To compare the patients with and without B symptoms, in terms of standardized uptake values (SUVs) for the seven ROIs, we used the Mann-Whitney U test.ResultsFor six of the ROIs, the SUVs were higher in the patients with B symptoms than in those without, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). There was also a tendency toward a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the SUV for the right iliac wing ROI (p = 0.06).ConclusionIn our sample, the presence of B symptoms was associated with increased 18F-FDG uptake in bone marrow.
