Abstract
18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT is an excellent imaging modality for the evaluation of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We report a case of 65-year-old man with haematuria; rectal examination and ultrasonography revealed prostate mass. Staging 18F-FDG PET-CT images showed a large hypermetabolic, infiltrative prostate mass. Subsequent contrast enhanced CT images showed ill-defined heterogeneously enhancing fungiform mass with irregular outline involving the prostate, base of urinary bladder as well as the seminal vesicles. Biopsy showed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. 18F-FDG PET-CT is helpful in evaluation of disease extent and therapy response.
