Key result
Pericardial FDG uptake was observed on a whole-body PET scan in a patient with mantle cell lymphoma, indicating chemotherapy-induced pericarditis.
Case Report (n=1)
F-18 FDG PET can detect chemotherapy-induced pericarditis as an incidental finding during malignancy follow-up.
May flag chemotherapy-induced pericarditis on oncology PET; single case leaves open prevalence and diagnostic role.
F-18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET) is a highly valuable imaging tool in evaluation and follow up of lymphoma and many other malignancies. Constrictive or effusive constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon complication of chemotherapy. The authors report a case in which pericardial FDG uptake was seen on a whole-body PET scan performed for posttreatment follow-up evaluation for a mantle cell lymphoma.

Losik et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Mantle cell lymphoma / Chemotherapy-induced pericarditis (n=1). F-18 FDG PET scan was evaluated on Pericardial FDG uptake. Pericardial FDG uptake was observed on a whole-body PET scan in a patient with mantle cell lymphoma, indicating chemotherapy-induced pericarditis.
