Abstract
Abstract: Biliary involvement by non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rare with an incidence ranging from 0.5% to 2%. In this article, we describe fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) avid common bile duct involvement in a patient being staged for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with F-18 FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We conclude that FDG PET can be a convenient noninvasive method of imaging extrahepatic biliary obstruction due to a lymphoma which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of obstructive jaundice in such patients. A positive FDG PET warrants histopathological correlation for appropriate treatment.
