A man experienced pain in the right hemithorax 6 months after a first-line therapy for multiple myeloma (MM). FDG PET/CT showed a large extramedullary extent in the right hemithorax, which was biopsy proven. During the second-line treatment, FDG PET/CT showed no response as well as a suspected myocardium spread, a rare extramedullary location in MM. F-Fluorocholine PET/CT and then MRI confirmed myocardium lesions. This case confirms that F-fluorocholine PET/CT is able to detect MM recurrence and may be used to complete FDG PET/CT in difficult cases such as suspicion of cardiac MM.
一名男性在接受多发性骨髓瘤(MM)一线治疗 6 个月后出现右侧胸痛。FDG PET/CT 显示右侧胸腔有大面积髓外扩展,经活检证实。在二线治疗期间,FDG PET/CT 显示无反应,疑似心肌扩散,这是 MM 中罕见的髓外部位。F-氟胆碱 PET/CT 和 MRI 随后证实了心肌病变。该病例证实 F-氟胆碱 PET/CT 能够检测 MM 复发,并可用于在疑似心脏 MM 等困难情况下补充 FDG PET/CT。
