ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Bone marrow evaluation (BME) is crucial for establishing an accurate staging and prognosis in lymphoma patients. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the diagnostic performance of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) against bone marrow biopsy (BMB) for BME. Methods: Five hundred patient files of newly diagnosed lymphoma patients treated at an academic medical center were reviewed for BME at diagnosis by BMB and FDG PET-CT. Diagnostic performance of FDG PET-CT for detecting bone marrow infiltration (BMI) was assessed, as well as clinical predictors for positive BMB and positive FDG PET-CT. Results: BMB was positive in 16.3% of all patients, and 28.7% had a positive FDG PET-CT for BMI. Overall, the sensitivity of FDG PET-CT was 74.1% and specificity 80.1%. As for predictors for BMB and FDG PET-CT positivity, B symptoms and thrombocytopenia were independent factors for BMI. Seventy-four patients had discordant results between BMB and FDG PET-CT, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) having the most significant discordance. This discrepancy did not affect treatment. Conclusions: FDG PET-CT shows excellent performance for the detection of BMI in Hodgkin lymphoma. For diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, we recommend performing BMB and FDG PET-CT as complementary tests. In all other NHL, a unilateral BMB is mandatory at diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Los pólipos no neoplásicos son lesiones mucosas o submucosas de carácter benigno que tienen componentes histológicos que normalmente existen en la estructura de colon, algunas de ellas se clasifican como hamartomas. En diez años se resecaron 187 pólipos en 96 pacientes (46 femeninos) con edad promedio de 49.3 años y rango de 2 a 82. La indicación clínica más frecuente fue la hemorragia (37 por ciento), excluyendo a los pólipos hiperplásicos que fueron los encontrados con mayor frecuencia (41 por ciento), seguidos por los juveniles o de retención (25 por ciento) y de inflamatorio (18 por ciento). La mayoría tuvo pólipos únicos (71 por ciento) y las hamartomas tendieron a presentar pólipos múltiples (39 por ciento). Los pólipos juveniles se presentaron en el hemicolon izquierdo (91.4 por ciento), y con la edad promedio más corta, 13.2 años y tuvieron la mayor tendencia a la hemorragia (21/25), los lipomas tenían el promedio de edad más alto (52.5 años), los hiperplásicos fueron encontrados en pacientes con trastornos funcionales digestivos (29/40). No hubo complicaciones mayores ni mortalidad en esta serie.
