Abstract

Although lymphomas are typically defined by enlarged lymph nodes and the involvement of other lymphoid tissues, Hodgkin’s disease may rarely present with extranodal disease. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is the current state-of-the-art imaging technique in evaluating (Hodgkin) lymphoma and is very appropriate to reveal extranodal disease. In this case, the diagnostic PET/CT scan shows that, in addition to numerous enlarged and metabolically active lymph nodes, non-lymphoid organs are also affected. In particular, the involvement of the stomach wall and the pancreas is exceptional. Furthermore, this case reflects well the value of F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging during and after treatment.
