RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Extranodal lymphomas without lymph node involvement are rarely observed and create diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman who was admitted with abdominal swelling. Ultrasonography findings suggested bilateral ovarian masses. 18 F-FDG PET/CT revealed intense uptake on the bilateral pelvic mass and thyroid gland. Following excisional surgery and thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This case is exceptionally rare, as it presents 2 synchronous extranodal involvements in the ovaries and the thyroid gland independently while not presenting any lymph node activity, which has not been reported before.

ABSTRACT: A 73-year-old woman with poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma was referred to 18 F-FDG PET/CT for evaluation of the disease. FDG PET/CT showed intense uptake in the disseminated lymph nodes. However, there was no uptake in the primary tumoral lesion. Subsequently, 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT was performed with the decision of the tumor board and demonstrated intense uptake in the tumoral lesion. However, there was low or no uptake in disseminated lymph nodes. Tru-cut biopsy results revealed that all the lymph nodes were associated with anthracosis.
