We retrospectively evaluated FDG-PET scans in 172 patients with lymphoma and correlated results with pathologic diagnosis using the WHO classification system. In total, FDG-PET detected disease in at least one site in 161 patients (94%) and failed to detect disease in 11 patients (6%). The most frequent lymphoma diagnoses were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL; n=51), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL; n=47), follicular lymphoma (FL; n=42), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL; n=12), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL; n=7) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL; n=5). FDG-PET detected disease in 100% of patients with LBCL and MCL, and 98% of patients with HL and FL. In contrast, FDG-PET detected disease in only 67% of MZL and 40% of PTCL. Comparison with bone marrow biopsies showed that FDG-PET was not reliable for detection of bone marrow involvement in any lymphoma subtype.
