Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the Assessment of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease and Its Differential Diagnosis from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET/CT showed multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes in KFD. The SUVmax of lymph nodes in KFD was significantly lower than that in AL, but there was no significant difference between KFD and IL. 18F-FDG PET/CT can be used to detect the area, number and metabolism of lymph nodes involved in KFD, and is helpful for differential diagnosis from NHL.
