Figure 6 A 61-year-old female patient with follicular lymphoma and duodenal involvement (Lugano system stage IV, grade 1). A: In the duodenum, small whitish nodules were observed; B: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) detected tracer uptake in the duodenum (indicated with an arrow); C: 18F-FDG-PET identified diffuse lymphoma infiltration into the spleen (indicated with an arrow), which was not detected by computed tomography scanning. In this case, these results upgraded the clinical stage.
