To the best of our knowledge, the case with 18F-FDG PET/CT images of a huge amyloid mass is the first in the literature.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A 23-year-old male patient who presented with impaired kidney function tests attended to hospital for hemodialysis and underwent 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination for the metabolic characterization of the intra-abdominal mass which was found in the ultrasonography. 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed a mass lesion adjacent to the liver which was hypermetabolic and the pathology of the lesion was determined as amyloidosis.

Abstract
A 23-year-old male patient who presented with impaired kidney function tests attended to hospital for hemodialysis and underwent 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination for the metabolic characterization of the intra-abdominal mass which was found in the ultrasonography. 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed a mass lesion adjacent to the liver which was hypermetabolic and the pathology of the lesion was determined as amyloidosis. To the best of our knowledge, the case with 18F-FDG PET/CT images of a huge amyloid mass is the first in the literature.
Özet
Yirmi üç yaşında erkek hasta böbrek yetmezliği ile diyaliz için hastanemize yönlendirilmiştir. Hastanın ultrasonografisinde tesadüfen saptanan intra-abdominal kitle lezyonunun metabolik karakterizasyonu için yapılan 18F-FDG pozitron emisyon tomografi/bilgisayarlı tomografi (PET/BT) çalışmasında hipermetabolik kitle izlenmiş olup kitlenin biyopsisi amiloidozis ile uyumlu olarak bulunmuştur. Bilgilerimize göre, bu olgu ile, dev amiloid kitlesi ile başvuran bir hastanın 18F-FDG PET/BT görüntüleri literatürde ilk kez sunulmaktadır.
