We report a case of a multicentric form of Castleman's disease (CD). A thoracic computerized tomography (CT) scan showed multiple mediastinal and bilateral axillary lymph nodes. Fluoro-18 fluoro deoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography-PET/CT scan demonstrated increased (18)F-FDG accumulation in multiple lymphatic regions and in bilateral pleural areas. The histopathological sampling of an excised left axillary lymph node revealed a multicentric form of CD, of an intermediate (mixed) cell type. The disease, its differential diagnosis and the diagnostic contribution of nuclear medicine imaging, are described.
我们报告一例多中心型Castleman病(CD)。胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)显示多个纵隔及双侧腋窝淋巴结。氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖((18)F-FDG)正电子发射断层扫描-PET/CT显示多个淋巴区域及双侧胸膜区域(18)F-FDG摄取增加。对切除的左腋窝淋巴结进行组织病理学检查,结果显示为中间(混合)细胞型多中心型CD。本文描述了该疾病、其鉴别诊断以及核医学成像的诊断作用。
