An 18-year-old male patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma stage IVB (HL-IVB), is presented. On a follow-up examination a splenic ultrasound scan showed the presence of multiple intense nodules. The gallium-67 citrate, single photon emission tomography scan was negative, while positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) scan with fluoro-18-fluordeoxyglucose was strongly positive. Massive infiltration of the spleen by HL-IVB tissue was confirmed by pathology after splenectomy. Two successive PET/CT studies for follow-up purposes three and twelve months after completion of chemotherapy, were normal.
本文介绍了一名18岁的IVB期霍奇金淋巴瘤（HL-IVB）男性患者。在一次随访检查中，脾脏超声扫描显示存在多个高密度结节。枸橼酸镓-67单光子发射断层扫描结果为阴性，而氟-18-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）结果为强阳性。脾切除术后的病理检查证实脾脏被HL-IVB组织大量浸润。化疗结束后3个月和12个月进行的两次连续PET/CT随访研究结果均正常。
