[Bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma].

The adrenal gland is a rare site of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as only about 70 cases have been reported in the literature, usually with bilateral involvement. Most tumours have a high grade histology, almost always with the B phenotype. Medical imaging is nonspecific and biopsy remains the most reliable diagnostic method.

Standardized uptake value of 2-[(18)F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in predicting outcome in head and neck carcinomas treated by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.

Purpose: In patients with head and neck cancer enrolled onto a prospective study of positron emission tomography (PET), pretreatment 2-[(18)F] fluoro-2- deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake was evaluated as a predictor of local control and disease-free survival (DFS) after treatment by radiotherapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy.

Patients And Methods: We studied 63 patients with carcinomas of the head and neck who had an FDG-PET scan before radical RT. Tumor FDG uptake was measured with the semiquantitative standardized uptake value (SUV).

[Paratesticular malignant mesothelioma. Presentation of a case].
