Case reports reveal Burkitt’s lymphoma presenting as peritoneal super scan, suggesting unique imaging characteristics.
Peritoneal lymphomatosis (PL) is an extremely uncommon manifestation of lymphoma. In the majority of circumstances, PL is linked to high-grade aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), most commonly diffuse large B cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Burkitt’s lymphoma is less commonly associated with PL. The high-grade NHLs accumulate 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and appear intensely avid on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Here, we present two cases of pediatric Burkitt’s lymphoma with the appearance of a peritoneal super scan on 18F-FDG PET-CT with treatment response assessment of one case.
