Abstract

We report a case with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with a focus of intense hypermetabolism in the sellar region in the primary staging and posttreatment whole body F-18 FDG PET. Further evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging after posttreatment FDG PET revealed a pituitary adenoma. Endocrinologic workup was normal consistent with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma and endocrinologists decided to follow up the patient by yearly magnetic resonance imaging. This case demonstrates a nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma by whole body FDG PET and emphasizes the importance of pursuing incidental findings detected in the sella on PET imaging

Özet

Primer evreleme amacıyla ve tedavi sonrası elde edilen tüm vücut F-18 FDG PET incelemesinde sellar bölgede yoğun hipermetabolik odak saptanan Non-Hodgkin Lenfoma tanılı bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile yapılan ileri incelemede bu alanda hipofiz adenomu saptandı. Olgunun endokrinolojik tetkikleri nonfonksiyone bir hipofiz adenomu ile uyumlu olacak şekilde normal olarak değerlendirildi ve endokrinologlar tarafından yıllık manyetik rezonans görüntülemesi ile takibi önerildi. Bu olguda sella lokalizasyonunda tüm vücut F-18 FDG PET incelemesinde insidental olarak saptanan ve nonfonksiyone hipofiz adenomu ile uyumlu olan artmış aktivite tutulumunun önemi sunulmaktadır.
