Abstract

In conclusion, FDG-PET/CT did not detect additional lymphoma involvement with modification of clinical stage. However, in 11% of patients (5 of 44), PET/CT identified visceral lesions that required further clinical workup and/or treatment. Further studies are required to address clinical usefulness of PET/CT in CTCL.
