Cutaneous staging

II - >10%
III - >1 cm
IV - erythema >80% of body surface
FDG non avid
Cutaneous
Bowel
Bone marrow
Mucosal surface
Richters transformation
CLL to DLBCL
High uptake in single lesion or SUV >10 in indolent
FDG > FLT in transformation
Threshold for biopsy
SUV 14
FDG detect bone marrow
If >30% involved
Bone marrow false positive
Systemic illness
Administration of Hematopoietic growth factor
FDG after chemo
Min 10 days
FDG True negative scan
Deintensify or discontinue therapy
Esp early HL
FDG Positive scan
Biopsy
Intensify therapy
HL negative PET
Biopsy to exclude bone marrow infiltration
Hematopoietic stimulating agents
Diffuse splenic uptake
Returns to normal after 1 month
Rituximab
Flare response
Residual mediastinal mass after therapy
Fibrosis, necrosis, inflammation (uncommon)
PET dd residual tumor vs fibrosis
Thymic rebound due to lymphatic hyperplasia
Within 6-12 months after treatment in children
PET dd residual/recurrent mass vs lymphatic hyperplasia
No FDG uptake after treatment
Predict disease free survival
SUV drop >66% after 2 cycles in DLBCL
Good prognosis
F-FLT
Worse than FDG in intensity
Better DD Indolent from aggressive
Uptake correlates with Ki67
Deaville score
1 - no uptake > background
2 - < mediastinal blood pool
3 - > mediastinal BP, but < liver
4 - > liver (partial response - failure of treatment)
5 -»_space; liver or new lesions - progressive disease
Complete response
All nodes <1.5 cm
Disappearance of all findings
Partial response
> 50% decrease in disease burden
50% decrease in spleen size
Stable disease
<50% decrease in disease burden
Progressive disease
New or increased adenopathy
HL risk of transformation type
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant type - - never EBV, Indolent
Classic HL
HRS cells 1.5% of tumor mass
Express CD30 and CD15
Most common - nodular sclerosing type
HL risk factors
Male >45
Stage IV
Hb <10.5
WBC >15
Lymphocyte <0.6 or <8% WBC
Albumin <40
Flare reaction to immunotherapy
Remain on treatment until progressive disease is confirmed by biopsy
Circulating DNA test
Follicular lymphoma
Indolent
Low-moderate FDG uptake
Chromosomal translocation
DLBCL
High uptake
De novo
Transformation from CLL, FL, MZL, HL
Mantle cell lymphoma
Aggressive
Widespread LN, bone marrow, splenomegaly, bowel infiltration, circulating tumor cells
CD5+/CD23-
Richter 20-30%
CLL
Indolent
Low or no uptake
CD5+/CD23 +
Richter 2-8%
MZL
Malt (gastric, bowel) - H. Pylori, Indolent, FDG avid
Spleen MZL - HCV, aggressive 20%
Nodal MZL
Chronic microbial infection and autoimmune disorder
Anaplastic lymphoma
Breast implant ass
Primary CNS lymphoma

Intradural spinal cord lesions
Cranial nerve involvement
Intraocular/orbital
Intravascular
Nasopharyngeal lymphoma
Diffuse involvement of Waldeyers ring
Mediastinum

Type II
Transmural growth – GI bleeding, perforation
Mimic IBD
Zevalin
Y90-ibritumomab
Anti-CD20 for FL
Combi with rituximab to block CD20 on normal B cells and spleen
Over 10 min 0.4 mCi/kg
Toxicity - bone marrow suppression, reversible
HL risk
Immune suppression
EBV
Familial history
Solid organ transplantation
Autoimmune disease
Ass with EBV
HL mixed cellularity type - highest FDG uptake
HL presentation
Painless Lymphadenopathy in supraclavicular and low neck nodes, mediastinum
HL treatment
ABVD and 20 Gy radio
Bone marrow biopsy
When FDG is negative in DLBCL
False negative FDG
