A 73-year-old female patient, affected by mycosis fungoides (MF), discontinued mogamulizumab, after initial clinical benefit, due to the onset of generalized erythema. Follow-up positron emission computed tomography (PET/CTs) carried out at 3 weeks and 6 months after therapy discontinuation showed, with respect to baseline PET/CT scan, a progressively increasing number of hypermetabolic enlarged lymph nodes suspected for a neoplastic involvement, but with histology indicative of an inflammatory reaction. After sequential therapy with corticosteroids and methotrexate, a complete remission was registered at F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) PET/CT performed at 12 months after mogamulizumab interruption. The case we describe highlights the usefulness of serial examinations with [F]FDG PET/CT in an MF patient presenting an unusual adverse reaction to mogamulizumab.
一名73岁的女性蕈样肉芽肿(MF)患者,在最初取得临床疗效后,因全身红斑发作而停用了莫加莫珠单抗。在停药后3周和6个月进行的随访正电子发射计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)显示,与基线PET/CT扫描相比,怀疑有肿瘤累及的代谢增高的肿大淋巴结数量逐渐增加,但组织学显示为炎症反应。在接受皮质类固醇和甲氨蝶呤序贯治疗后,在莫加莫珠单抗中断治疗12个月时进行的F-氟脱氧葡萄糖([F]FDG)PET/CT显示完全缓解。我们描述的这个病例突出了在一名对莫加莫珠单抗出现异常不良反应的MF患者中,进行[F]FDG PET/CT系列检查的有用性。
