18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography delineates involved sites in the cervical spine in Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a granulomatous tumorous lesion consisting of CD1a-positive clonal immature dendritic cells in association with various inflammatory cells, develops in tissues including bone, skin, lungs, and lymph nodes. Additionally, to identify specific locations, 18F-fluorod...

Zusammenfassung:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a granulomatous tumorous lesion consisting of CD1a-positive clonal immature dendritic cells in association with various inflammatory cells, develops in tissues including bone, skin, lungs, and lymph nodes. Additionally, to identify specific locations, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) is useful. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images of three Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) cases with cervical spine involvement Case 2: A 70-year-old man, a heavy smoker for more than 40 years, complained of shortness of breath, and a chest X-ray revealed characteristic honeycomb lungs.
