Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol. 2013 Apr;34(2):101-3. doi: 10.4103/0971-5851.116189.

Abstract

Extranodal disease refers to lymphomatous infiltration of anatomic sites other than lymph nodes. With the advent of FDG PET/CT for staging, rare sites of extranodal disease have been documented. We report a case of Non- Hodgkin's lymphoma with four rare extranodal sites, namely adrenal, peripheral nerves, pancreas and prostate, in the same patient, detected on FDG PET/CT imaging.

Keywords: Extranodal; pancreas; peripheral nerves; prostate.
