PET-CT: radiological signs in Sarcoidosis-Lymphoma Syndrome
Report of a case and review
Abstract
Sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome is a clinical entity that can be diagnosed in different ways. Some of them are atypical. For these complex cases, positron emission tomography (PET) combined with an X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner (PET-CT) is definitive for subsequent biopsy. A clinical case of our group is presented, which leads to the corresponding revision / update.References
