¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT Imaging of Primary Gastric Lymphoma

Abstract

Primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) accounts for less than 4% of gastric neoplasms. ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with simultaneously acquired computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT) allows for staging as well as differentiation from other gastric cancers. Rapid diagnosis, staging and treatment are important as chemotherapeutic response is generally favorable. We describe a case of an 83 year-old woman with Stage II₁ PGL.
