18F-FDG PET/CT in Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma With Paraneoplastic Pemphigus as the First Manifestation

Xueqi Chen et al. Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

A 48-year-old woman presented with refractory oral ulcers and skin rashes on the palms and trunk, diagnosed as paraneoplastic pemphigus. The chest x-ray revealed a mass in the right lower chest, and the F-FDG PET/CT scan showed the lesion in the right anterior-inferior mediastinum with intense F-FDG uptake, accompanied by right parasternal adenopathy and pleural effusion. The surgical pathology proved a follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, with right parasternal lymph node metastasis.
