18F-FDG PET/CT for Therapy Monitoring in Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like T Cell Lymphoma

Abstract

1. Abstract 1.1. Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the staging and monitoring therapy response for subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma (SPTCL) and to analyze the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of FDG uptake with regard to clinical factors. 1.2. Methods: Seven patients with pathologically proven SPTCL who had undergone PET/CT imaging at initial diagnosis and/or remission were included. All seven patients were treated with different protocols of chemotherapy or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Characteristic findings of PET/CT imaging in patients
