Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology. It affects children and adolescents predominantly and occurs mostly in the female population. It is characterized by the insidious onset of pain and swelling, with a fluctuating clinical course of relapses and remissions.

Leukemia and lymphoma arise from similar cell lines and can have overlapping imaging features; however, the clinical presentation, imaging strategies, and treatment protocols can vary substantially based on the specific subtype. Although imaging does not play a central role in staging or monitoring disease in childhood leukemia, findings on imaging may be the first indication of the diagnosis.

Material And Methods: Sixty-one FDG PET studies in 48 patients (median age 58, range 28-89 years, 20 female, 28 male) who were diagnosed with malignant SG tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Thirteen were referred for initial diagnosis and staging while there was a suspicion of recurrence and/or metastatic disease in 48 patients during the follow-up period.
Article Synopsis
- * PLC often occurs in late stages of malignancies, particularly adenocarcinomas, and its diagnosis relies on a mix of clinical and radiologic assessments, though challenges arise with patients who have limited findings or other lung diseases.
- * High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the preferred imaging technique for diagnosing PLC, while FDG-PET can show different patterns of lung uptake that may assist in accurate diagnosis and patient management.
