Role of F-18 FDG PET/CT in non-conjunctival origin ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas

Conclusion83.3% of the non-conjunctival origin OAML were FDG-avid tumors, with FDG PET/CT showing comparable sensitivity to that of MRI. FDG PET/CT detected unsuspected extraocular lymphoma involvement in 14% of the patients. FDG PET/CT performed for staging of non-conjunctival origin OAML may thus guide therapeutic management.
