Abstract:
Objective:To compare and analyze the difference of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging features between multiple system sarcoidosis and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL),and to explore the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the differential diagnosis of the two.Methods:A total of 15 cases of sarcoidosis and 39 cases of DLBCL,newly diagnosed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from July 2018 to July 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.Clinicopathological data and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging data of the patients were collected.The imaging features,the areas of involvement,the lymph node features,the maximum diameter of the lesion and the semi-quantitative parametar maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:Sarcoidosis was characterized by symmetrical involvement of mediastinum and hilar lymph nodes without a tendency of fusion,and bilateral lungs/pleura were easily involved.DLBCL lymph nodes were prone to coalesce and extranodal invasion of gastrointestinal tract.The incidence of mediastinum,hilar lymph nodes,double lungs and pleura in sarcoidosis group was higher than that in DLBCL group,and DLBCL was prone to gastrointestinal involvement (all P<0.05).The incidence of lymph node fusion was lower in the sarcoidosis group than in the DLBCL group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in lymph node necrosis rate and calcification rate between the two groups (all P>0.05).The maximum lymph node diameter in the sarcoidosis group was (2.40±0.71) cm,which was lower than that in the DLBCL group (6.50±2.53) cm.The SUVmax in the sarcoidosis group was 8.12±4.15,which was lower than that in the DLBCL group (19.93±7.54) (all P<0.05).Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT is of great value in the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis and DLBCL.The combination of characteristic manifestations,involved location,lesion size,fusion trend and semi-quantitative parameter SUVmax can help to distinguish them.
