ABSTRACT
An imaging case is presented on a patient referred to our department for an 18F-FDG-PET/CT, as a paraneoplastic syndrome was suspected due to his clinical situation. He had a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated two years earlier, with sustained complete remission to date. 18F-FDG-PET/CT findings revealed hypermetabolism in almost all nerve roots, suggesting meningeal spread, consistent with the subsequent MRI findings. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings confirmed a leptomeningeal reactivation of AML. Although not many studies have evaluated the role of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in leukemia, it is a noninvasive tool for detecting extramedullary sites of disease and a good imaging alternative for those patients on whom an MRI cannot be performed (AU)
RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso de un paciente remitido a nuestro servicio para la realización de una PET/TC con 18F-FDG por sospecha clínica de un síndrome paraneoplásico Entre sus antecedentes destacaba el de una leucemia mieloide aguda tratada 2 años antes y en remisión completa en los controles sucesivos. La PET/TC con 18F-FDG mostró hipermetabolismo en prácticamente todas las raíces nerviosas, apuntando a enfermedad meníngea diseminada, en concordancia con los hallazgos de la RM realizada posteriormente. El análisis del líquido cefalorraquídeo confirmó una reactivación leptomeníngea de la leucemia mieloide aguda. A pesar de los pocos estudios existentes sobre el papel de la PET/TC con 18F-FDG en la leucemia, es una herramienta no invasiva para localizar recidivas extramedulares de la enfermedad y una buena técnica de imagen alternativa para aquellos pacientes a los que no se les puede realizar una RM (AU)
