Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography evaluation of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma and treatment response

Figure 3 Case 3. A: Before treatment, showing multiple pathological foci of hypermetabolic activity in local dense areas of subcutaneous fat (the largest are indicated by arrows, on the whole-body image as well) and pathological foci of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the epiploon in the left mesogastric area (indicated by circles, on the whole-body image as well); B: After 3 cycles of FCM, showing resorption of all previously defined foci (including those in the greater omentum) but development of new ones in the subcutaneous tissue; C: After 3 cycles of GEM-P, showing marked improvement that was indicated by resorption of all previously defined foci. FCM: Fludarabine, mitoxantrone and cyclophosphamide; GEM-P: Gemcitabine, cisplatin and methylprednisolone.
