Abstract
Objective
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is often associated with bone marrow infiltration, and 2-deoxy-2-(18F) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has potential diagnostic significance for bone marrow infiltration in DLBCL.
Methods
A total of 102 patients diagnosed with DLBCL between September 2019 and August 2022 were included. Bone marrow biopsy and 18F-FDG PET/CT examinations were performed at the time of initial diagnosis. Kappa tests were used to evaluate the agreement of 18F-FDG PET/CT with the gold standard, and the imaging features of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration on PET/CT were described.
Results
The total detection rate of bone marrow infiltration was not significantly different between PET/CT and primary bone marrow biopsy (P = 0.302) or between the two bone marrow biopsies (P = 0.826). The sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index of PET/CT for the diagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration were 0.923 (95% CI, 0.759–0.979), 0.934 (95% CI, 0.855–0.972), and 0.857, respectively.
Conclusion
18F-FDG PET/CT has a comparable efficiency in the diagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration. PET/CT-guided bone marrow biopsy can reduce the misdiagnosis of DLBCL bone marrow infiltration.
期刊介绍:
