PET/CT in Disease Detection and Follow-up of Subcutaneous Involvement in Marginal Zone Lymphoma

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has important value in staging of many non-Hodgkin lymphoma histologies; however, its role in assessment of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is controversial. Evaluation of 571 PET/CT scans of 178 patients with MZL revealed subcutaneous lesions in 11% of patients. We characterized their unique and specific PET/CT findings that enhance clinical diagnosis, accurate staging, and follow-up of MZL.
