Primary ovarian lymphoma as the initial manifestation is rare. A 27-year-old woman presented to our hospital with the symptoms of lower abdominal fullness and pollakisuria. CT scan and MRI revealed bilateral ovarian tumors, which showed heterogeneous masses. 18F-FDG PET revealed strong uptake by the abdominal masses, and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was 12.5. Abnormal uptake was not shown by other regions. An exploratory laparotomy was performed. Histological findings revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The clinical stage was IV according to the Ann Arbor system. International prognostic index (IPI) was 3 (high-intermediate risk). Chemotherapy was administered consisting of three courses of an R-CHOP regimen, and 18F-FDG PET and CT scan revealed no signs of involvement 3 months after initiation of the chemotherapy. 18F-FDG PET was a useful method for staging and assessment of the therapeutic response in primary ovarian lymphoma.

Objective: Using F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters to differentiate post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), and PTLD subtypes.
Methods: F-FDG PET/CT and clinical data from 63 PTLD cases and 19 RLH cases were retrospectively collected. According to the 2017 WHO classification, PTLD was categorized into four subtypes: nondestructive (ND-PTLD), polymorphic (P-PTLD), monomorphic (M-PTLD), and classic Hodgkin.

Translational neuroimaging techniques are needed to address the impact of opioid tolerance on brain function and quantitatively monitor the impaired neuropharmacological response to opioids at the CNS level. A multiparametric PET study was conducted in rats. Rats received morphine daily to induce tolerance (15 mg/kg/day for 5 days), followed by 2-day withdrawal.

Purpose: This head-to-head comparative meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative diagnostic efficacy of [F]FDG PET/CT and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT(DCE-CT) for the differentiation between malignant and benign pulmonary nodules.
Methods: An extensive search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify available publications up to March 23, 2024. Studies were included if they evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of [F]FDG PET/CT and DCE-CT for the characterization of pulmonary nodules.

Background: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytosis is a rare autoimmune encephalitis discovered in the last decade. The diagnosis depends on clinical symptoms, imaging, and antibody testing. However, most cases require several months or even longer to make a definite diagnosis.
