The utility of F-18 FDG PET/CT for diagnosis and response evaluation of hepatosplenic tuberculosis
First published: 31 January 2023
Abstract
A 77-year-old woman underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT for evaluation of fever focus. Diffuse and intense hepatosplenic uptake was noted and lymphoma or tuberculosis was proposed. Liver biopsy revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation with Langerhans-type giant cells and necrosis. A follow-up PET/CT after anti-tuberculosis treatment revealed that the hepatosplenic uptake had resolved.
