Abstract

A 58-year-old man presenting with dyspnea, weight loss, and night sweating underwent 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) because of a suspicion of malignancy. 18 F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated mild to moderate uptake on nasal, cricoid, and tracheobronchial tree cartilages and costovertebral junctions. The diagnosis was relapsing polychondritis, which is a rare multisystem disease characterized by inflammation of cartilage. In addition, subsequent 18 F-FDG PET/CT after treatment showed complete metabolic response.

利用 18F-FDG PET/CT 诊断和评估复发性多软骨炎的治疗反应

一名 58 岁男子因怀疑患有恶性肿瘤，出现呼吸困难、体重减轻和盗汗症状，接受了 18 F-FDG 正电子发射/计算机断层扫描（18 F-FDG PET/CT）检查。18 F-FDG PET/CT 显示鼻腔、环状软骨、气管支气管软骨和肋椎交界处有轻度至中度摄取。诊断结果为复发性多软骨炎，这是一种罕见的以软骨炎症为特征的多系统疾病。此外，治疗后的18 F-FDG PET/CT显示完全代谢反应。
