18F-FDG PET/CT in Lymphomatoid Papulosis Mimicking Primary Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Nov;44(11):e609-e611. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002674.

Abstract

Lymphomatoid papulosis is a benign self-healing condition, presenting as papulonodular skin eruptions and mimicking malignant cutaneous lymphomas histopathologically. F-FDG PET/CT findings in this benign condition have not been described in detail in the literature. We present a case of lymphomatoid papulosis mimicking primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma histopathologically and demonstrating intensely FDG-avid cutaneous lesions on F-FDG PET/CT, which disappear spontaneously in the follow-up scan.
