Abstract
A 69 years old woman with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) (chronic type) was referred for a fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT). Multiple hypermetabolic pulmonary and bone lesions were evidence. The patient underwent chemotherapy, but did not respond, and she died approximately 8 months from the onset of symptoms. Autopsy showed ATL cells infiltrating the lung parenchyma and the pulmonary hilum. In conclusion, we present a case of hypermetabolic pulmonary lesions associated with thoracic CT findings on a (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan in a patient with a chronic adult T-cell leukemia.
