摘要
Background. Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is, aside skin cancer, the most common malignancy occurring after solid organ transplant in adults. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has proved useful in the management of lymphomas. Methods. We report our experience with the use of FDG-PET inline with computed tomography (CT) scanning in the management of four transplant recipients with histologically confirmed PTLD, including three monomorphic PTLDs and one polymorphic PTLD. Results. FDG-PET/CT scan at diagnosis showed increased FDG uptake in all examined PTLD lesions, and the disease was upstaged on the basis of FDG-PET/CT scan results over conventional CT scanning in one patient. At the end of treatment, PET/CT scans no longer demonstrated FDG uptake in the original PTLD lesions in all patients. Complete remission of disease persisted for at least 1 year after diagnosis in all. Conclusions. Our results strongly support that FDG-PET scanning is highly specific for diagnosis and follow-up of PTLD. The clinical relevance of including FDG-PET/CT scanning in the management of PTLD should be evaluated in a larger prospective cohort study.
