Abstract:
Purpose The clinical manifestation of primary lymphoma of bone (PBL) is lack of specificity,and it is easy to be misdiagnosed.This study is to investigate the characteristics of ~F-fluorodeoxyglucose (~F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) of PBL and to improve the understanding of its imaging findings.Materials and Methods Fourteen patients with PLB (9 males and 5 females) proved by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2011 to October 2015 were enrolled.18F-FDG PET/CT findings of all the patients were retrospectively analyzed.The CT image,PET image and fusion image were analyzed by 3 physicians of medical imaging.The SUVmax value of the lesion was measured through region of interesting.Results Ten patients with unifocal lesion involved 4 cases of femoral bone,2 cases of pelvis,2 cases of vertebrae,1 case of ulna and 1 case of tibia.The other 4 patients had multifocal lesions.The lesions showed different level of increased radioactivity on the PET imaging with SUVmax of 9.85±4.29.On syn-CT images,6 cases of unifocal PLB showed cribriform or fuzzy boundary insect erosion osteolytic bone destruction,5 of which were accompanied by cortical bone destruction.The other 4 cases of unifocal PLB showed mixed bone destruction.Among the 10 cases of uniffocal PLB,7 of them showed soft tissue masses with unclear boundary and no obvious necrosis or cystic change,1 of them showed pathological fracture and periosteum reaction.The 4 cases of multifocal PBL patients showed multiple osteolytic bone destruction,2 of them had localized soft tissue masses.Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT manifestations of PBL have certain characteristics,which is helpful for early diagnosis.It may provide important information for clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation.
