A 60-year-old man on methotrexate for treatment of adult-onset Still disease presented with acute onset of fever, pancytopenia, and deranged liver function. Besides FDG-avid lesions in spleen and skeleton, his 18 F-FDG PET/CT study showed diffuse and intense uptake in the liver with significantly suppressed heart and brain activity (reminiscent of a hepatic superscan). Subsequent biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder.
一位 60 岁男性因成人斯蒂尔病接受甲氨蝶呤治疗,突发发热、全血细胞减少和肝功能异常。除了脾脏和骨骼的 FDG 摄取病灶外,他的 18 F-FDG PET/CT 研究显示肝脏弥漫性和强烈摄取,心脏和大脑活性明显受抑制(类似于肝超扫描)。随后的活检证实了甲氨蝶呤相关性淋巴组织增生性疾病的诊断。
