  • Title: Vertebral photopenia on [67Ga]Ga-citrate and [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
    Author: Meristoudis G, Ilias I, Giannakopoulos V.
    Journal: Nucl Med Rev Cent East Eur; 2023; 26(0):38-39. PubMed ID: 36353922.
    Abstract:
    A cold vertebral defect is an uncommon finding, especially in Gallium-67-citrate ([67Ga]Ga-citrate) - and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) - avid lymphomas, representing a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present the case of a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), in whom the [67Ga]Ga-citrate and [18F]FDG scans showed a diffuse skeletal uptake pattern with concomitant appearance of a cold vertebral defect. Awareness of the different causes of such uptake patterns and accurate clinical information is important to avoid misinterpretation of nuclear studies in oncologic patients.
