Primary bone lymphoma of the mandible and thyroid incidentaloma identified by FDG PET/CT: a case report

Joaquim Bosch-Barrera et al. Cases J. .

Abstract

The mandible is a rare site for the occurrence of primary bone lymphoma (PBL), a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We report herein a case of an incidentally diagnosed thyroid incidentaloma by (18)Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in a patient with a previous diagnosis of PBL. Therapeutic options are reviewed and discussed.
