EBV-Associated T-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorders Demonstrated on FDG PET/CT in a Patient With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.
Abstract
FDG PET/CT was performed in a 20-year-old woman to find the underlying cause of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The images revealed hypermetabolic activity in multiple lymph nodes and in the spleen. Lymphoma was suspected. However, the pathology of bone marrow, lymph nodes, and the spleen demonstrated chronic active Epstein-Barr virus-associated T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.
