Abstract:In most patients, systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL) is an 18F-FDG-avid tumor. Both ALK-positive and ALK-negative tumors can be evaluated by PET scans as both tumor types uptake 18F-FDG in PET. The PET scan is also valuable in predicting prognosis during and after the treatment course. The evolution of 18F-FDG uptake in patients with sALCL has not been reported. For tumors lacking 18F-FDG uptake, there is a diagnostic pitfall of underestimating the cancer stage and misjudgment of metastases. In th… Show more
