ABSTRACT
A 21-year-old man complained of cough, fever, and hemoptysis for 15 days. Peripheral neutrophil cell (33.8 × 10/L) was markedly increased, and a mass in the left lung was detected by chest radiography. F-FDG PET/CT was referred for characterizing the lesion and found a large mass with multiple cavities in the left lung, which had markedly high uptake of F-FDG, mimicking pulmonary abscess. Surprisingly, the lesion was eventually proved to be neutrophil-rich anaplastic large cell lymphoma. After 4 cycles' chemotherapy, the lesion shrank significantly.
