Bronchial Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma Staged by 11C-Methionine

Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Aug;43(8):e276-e277. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002160.

Abstract

A 57-year-old man had a diagnosis of a bronchial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in the left lung and monoclonal gammopathy. The patient underwent whole-body C-methionine PET/CT, in order to evaluate the amino acid avidity of the lesion and to stage the bronchial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. C-methionine uptake was detected in the lung lesion and in the mediastinal lymph nodes.
