CT and PET/CT Findings of T-Cell Lymphoma
July 21st, 2009 Posted by: admin
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to describe the extranodal
features of T-cell lymphoma at CT and PET/CT.
CONCLUSION. The extranodal features of T-cell lymphoma are not
specific and usually cannot be used to differentiate T-cell lymphoma from
other aggressive types of lymphoma. Noncutaneous subtypes frequently manifest
with visceral involvement. The goal of CT in initial staging is to exclude
visceral involvement. Evidence on the utility of PET/CT is promising, showing
high diagnostic value in evaluation of occult disease and treatment response,
but the role of PET/CT is evolving.
