RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that occurs years after placement of textured surface breast implants. Patients typically present after the development of pain, a palpable mass, or swelling. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman with recurrent breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma presenting as refractory fluid collections, and the unusual finding of low uptake on FDG PET/CT scan despite being confirmed by cytology.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory bone disease that commonly affects the spine and the sacroiliac joints. Ankylosing spondylitis can also cause enthesitis, or enthesopathy, which is an inflammation at the tendinous or ligamentous insertion sites on the bones. In this study, we present the case of a 37-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis with a unique Tc-HDP bone scan finding of symmetrical increased uptake bilaterally in the greater trochanters.
