Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 35-year-old male with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (nodular sclerosing, grade 1 histology, clinical stage 2A) underwent a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to assess response to treatment. Half body CT PET imaging was obtained using a Siemens Biograph scanner from eyes to thighs. 405 MBq of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was injected with acquisition starting at 60 min. There was unexpected intense focal uptake in the superficial subcutaneous tissues of the abdomen, pelvis and lateral chest wall with overlying skin thickening seen on the CT component. This was initially of concern, but the patient was known to have a history of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). On further examination, the radiological abnormalities corresponded to the clinical sites of involvement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documentation of the appearance of HS on PET scan. |
