Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology that may occur anywhere in the lymphatic system. Imaging plays an important role in detecting and staging this disease. Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) combines the metabolic information derived from nuclear medical imaging with the high soft tissue resolution from MRI. We review the features of CD in standard diagnostic imaging, analyze the specific imaging findings of CD in FDG-PET/MRI and discuss a potential benefit of PET/MRI based on the case of a 15-year-old female patient with retroperitoneal CD.
Castleman病（CD）是一种病因不明的罕见淋巴增殖性疾病，可发生于淋巴系统的任何部位。影像学在该疾病的检测和分期中起着重要作用。正电子发射断层扫描/磁共振成像（PET/MRI）将核医学成像获得的代谢信息与MRI的高软组织分辨率相结合。我们回顾了标准诊断成像中CD的特征，分析了FDG-PET/MRI中CD的具体影像学表现，并基于一名15岁腹膜后CD女性患者的病例讨论了PET/MRI的潜在益处。
