Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare disease. We here present the case of an 8-year-old child who presented with bilateral renal masses. On biopsy, it was confirmed to be B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) for staging demonstrated (18)F-FDG avid bilateral renal masses, with no other abnormal focus. Follow up (18)F-FDG PET/CT showed complete resolution of the disease after six cycles of chemotherapy. Here we have highlighted the potential role of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in staging and response evaluation of a patient with PRL and presented a brief review.
原发性肾淋巴瘤(PRL)是一种罕见疾病。我们在此报告一例8岁儿童,其双侧肾脏出现肿块。活检证实为B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。用于分期的(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖((18)F-FDG)正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)显示双侧肾脏肿块摄取(18)F-FDG,无其他异常病灶。化疗六个周期后,随访(18)F-FDG PET/CT显示疾病完全缓解。在此,我们强调了(18)F-FDG PET/CT在PRL患者分期和疗效评估中的潜在作用,并进行了简要综述。
