Case Report of Concomitant Diagnosis of Locally Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Solitary Plasmacytoma of T11 Vertebra: Impact on Diagnostic and Clinical Management.

A solitary bone plasmacytoma is a rare tumor. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma. We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient who consulted for recent back pain, with a final diagnosis of T10 solitary plasmacytoma and synchronous intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

EANM guidelines on the use of [F]FDG PET/CT in diagnosis, staging, prognostication, therapy assessment, and restaging of plasma cell disorders.

We provide updated guidance and standards for the indication, acquisition, and interpretation of [F]FDG PET/CT for plasma cell disorders. Procedures and characteristics are reported and different scenarios for the clinical use of [F]FDG PET/CT are discussed. This document provides clinicians and technicians with the best available evidence to support the implementation of [F]FDG PET/CT imaging in routine practice and future research.

[Aortitis].

Aortitis is a rare disease entity of unknown prevalence. Primary aortitis mainly affects the thoracic aorta. They are most often diagnosed on imaging by grade III 18-FDG uptake of the aortic wall on PET, or by circumferential thickening>2.

DCE-MRI to distinguish all monoclonal plasma cell disease stages and correlation with diffusion-weighted MRI/PET-based biomarkers in a hybrid simultaneous whole body-2-[18F]FDG-PET/MRI imaging approach.

Background: Dynamic contrast-enhanced-MRI (DCE-MRI) is able to study bone marrow angiogenesis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and asymptomatic precursor diseases but its role in the management of MM has not yet been established. The aims of this prospective study was to compare DCE-MRI-based parameters between all monoclonal plasma cell disease stages in order to find out discriminatory parameters and to seek correlations with other diffusion-weighted MRI and positron emission tomography (PET)-based biomarkers in a hybrid simultaneous whole-body-2-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/MRI (WB-2-[18F]FDG-PET/MRI) imaging approach.

Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) or symptomatic MM according to international myeloma working group and underwent WB-2-[18F]FDG-PET/MRI imaging including bone marrow DCE sequences at the Nantes University Hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study before receiving treatment.
