< sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/CT in monoclonal plasma cell disorders

Hell J Nucl Med. 2023 May-Aug;26 Suppl:38-41.ABSTRACTPlasma cell disorders are a heterogeneous group caused by the monoclonal proliferation of lymphoplasmacytic cells in the bone marrow. Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the most serious and prevalent plasma cell dyscrasia, with a median age of onset of 60 years.MM displays significant genetic, biological and clinical heterogeneity with subsequent imaging heterogeneity, evident in contemporary imaging modalities (PET/CT and MRI). Evidence suggests that MM is always preceded by precursor stages of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma.PMID:37658561
