Abstract
Lymphomas are a heterogenous group of cancers of the lymphatic system in which disease primarily arises in lymph nodes. Extranodal disease is common; however, musculoskeletal involvement is rare. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging of all lymphomas. In this case series, we present examples of musculoskeletal involvement of lymphoma encountered at our institution. We outline the clinical presentation and imaging findings of each and use these cases to review the features that can help to differentiate lymphoma from other musculoskeletal lesions.

CXCR4 PET imaging of mantle cell lymphoma using [ 68Ga]Pentixafor: comparison with [ 18F]FDG-PET. Theranostics 2021; 11:567-578. [PMID: 33391493 PMCID: PMC7738870 DOI: 10.7150/thno.48620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
For PET imaging of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), [18F]FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is the currently recommended radiotracer, although uptake is variable and bone marrow evaluation is limited. In this prospective study, we evaluated the novel CXCR4 (G-protein-coupled C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4) tracer [68Ga]Pentixafor in MCL patients, and compared it to [18F]FDG. Methods: MCL patients underwent [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET/MRI, and, if required for routine purposes, also [18F]FDG-PET/MRI, before treatment. PET was evaluated separately for 23 anatomic regions (12 lymph node stations and 11 organs/tissues), using MRI as the main reference standard. Standardized uptake values (SUVmax and SUVmean) and tumor-to-background ratios (TBRblood and TBRliver) were calculated. General Estimation Equations (GEE) were used to compare [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET and [18F]FDG-PET sensitivities and positive predictive values (PPV). For bone marrow involvement, where biopsy served as the main reference standard, and splenic involvement, receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine the optimal SUV and TBR cut-off values, and areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated. Results: Twenty-two MCL patients were included. [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET sensitivity (100%) was significantly higher than for [18F]FDG-PET (75.2%) (P<0.001), and PPV was slightly, but not significantly lower (94.0%.vs. 96.5%; P=0.21). SUVs and TBRs were significantly higher for [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET than for [18F]FDG-PET (P<0.001 in all cases); the greatest difference was observed for mean TBRblood, with 4.9 for [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET and 2.0 for [18F]FDG-PET. For bone marrow involvement, [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET SUVmean showed an AUC of 0.92; and for splenic involvement, TBRblood showed an AUC of 0.81. Conclusion: [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET may become an alternative to [18F]FDG-PET in MCL patients, showing clearly higher detection rates and better tumor-to-background contrast.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the diagnostic performance of three-dimensional (3D) texture analysis (TA) of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) images for treatment response assessment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), compared with F-18-fludeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/CT. METHODS 3D TA of 48 lymph nodes in 29 patients was performed on venous-phase CE-CT images before and after chemotherapy. All lymph nodes showed pathologically elevated FDG uptake at baseline. A stepwise logistic regression with forward selection was performed to identify classic CT parameters and texture features (TF) that enable the separation of complete response (CR) and persistent disease. RESULTS The TF fraction of image in runs, calculated for the 45° direction, was able to correctly identify CR with an accuracy of 75%, a sensitivity of 79.3%, and a specificity of 68.4%. Classical CT features achieved an accuracy of 75%, a sensitivity of 86.2%, and a specificity of 57.9%, whereas the combination of TF and CT imaging achieved an accuracy of 83.3%, a sensitivity of 86.2%, and a specificity of 78.9%. CONCLUSIONS 3D TA of CE-CT images is potentially useful to identify nodal residual disease in HL, with a performance comparable to that of classical CT parameters. Best results are achieved when TA and classical CT features are combined.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the anticancer efficacy of dimercaptosuccinic acid-modified iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles coloaded with anti-CD22 antibodies and doxorubicin (anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX) on non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cells. The physical properties of anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX were studied and its antitumor effect on Raji cells in vitro was evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Furthermore, cell apoptosis and intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin were determined by flow cytometry. The results revealed that anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX inhibited the proliferation of Raji cells, significantly increased the uptake of doxorubicin, and induced apoptosis. Therefore, it was concluded that a coloaded antibody and chemotherapeutic drug with magnetic nanoparticles might be an efficient targeted treatment strategy for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Abstract
Primary pleural tumors other than mesothelioma account for fewer than 1% of all lung cancers, and consequently they pose diagnostic and management challenges. Their treatment must be targeted toward the specific tumor type and is often quite different from the treatment for mesothelioma or metastases. Despite the best efforts at diagnosing and treating these tumors, the prognosis associated with some of the benign and many of the malignant variants of these tumors remains poor. In this review, we describe the radiologic and pathologic features of the less common primary pleural tumors and propose a diagnostic approach to their evaluation.

Abstract
Primary lymphoma of the temporal bone is an extremely rare finding in clinical practice. Although it is treated as a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the absence of systemic signs and symptoms makes detection dependent on the tumor's local mass effect. In this article, we report a case of temporal bone lymphoma that caused XIIth nerve palsy. We also discuss the clinical manifestations of temporal bone lymphoma and the importance of imaging the head and neck when any idiopathic cranial nerve palsy develops.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the MRI findings of skeletal muscle lymphoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR images of pathologically proven lymphoma of skeletal muscle in 20 patients were retrospectively reviewed for the presence or absence of individual imaging findings. Nine patients had primary muscle lymphoma, and 11 patients had muscle metastasis from systemic lymphoma. RESULTS The initial manifestation of skeletal muscle lymphoma was a muscle mass in 15 patients (75%) and abnormal muscle signal intensity in five patients (25%). Muscle enlargement was found in all cases. Long segmental involvement with orientation of the tumor along muscle fascicles was found in 15 patients (75%). Seventeen patients (85%) had traversing vessels within involved muscles. All of the tumors had equal to slightly increased signal intensity compared with normal muscle on T1-weighted images and intermediate signal intensity compared with fat on T2-weighted images. Among the 19 patients who underwent contrast-enhanced imaging, skeletal muscle lymphoma exhibited diffuse homogeneous enhancement in 13 patients (68%), predominantly peripheral thick bandlike enhancement in four patients (21%), and marginal septal enhancement in two patients (11%). Thick irregular enhancement of both deep and superficial fascia was found in 16 patients (84%), and one patient (5%) had deep enhancement only. Subcutaneous stranding was found in 16 patients (80%) and skin thickening in four patients (20%). CONCLUSION Skeletal muscle lymphoma has distinctive MRI features that help differentiate it from other soft-tissue tumors and tumorlike lesions.

Abstract
Thoracic lymphomas most frequently involve mediastinal lymph nodes in the anterior mediastinum and paratracheal areas. The lymphomas may also involve lung, thymus, pleura, pericardium, chest wall, and the breast and their radiologic manifestations are diverse. Lymphomas (mostly BALT lymphoma and large B-cell lymphoma) may arise primarily from the lung with various imaging features including single or multiple nodule(s) and area(s) of consolidation. CT is currently the most important imaging modality for the evaluation of thoracic lymphoma but FDG PET also plays a crucial role in the clinical management of these cases.

Abstract
Lymphoma is the third most common childhood malignancy. Less information is available on this disease and its outcome from our country. We present here a single institute experience. A retrospective study was carried out at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi on children (<15 y) diagnosed with lymphoma from 1998 to 2007. Sixty-eight patients were identified. Fifty-one children were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Mean age of presentation was 8.4 years with male-to-female ratio of 5.8 : 1. Most common histopathologic subtype of NHL was Burkitt lymphoma (55%). Abdominal mass was the main presenting feature of Burkitt and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. T-lymphoblastic lymphoma presented mainly as mediastinal mass. Ten children died, 4 secondary to tumor lysis syndrome, 5 because of disease progression, and 1 with chemotherapy-induced toxicity. One-third of the patients left without treatment. Seventeen children were diagnosed as Hodgkin lymphoma with mixed cellularity as the commonest subtype (65%). Overall survival of children with NHL and Hodgkin lymphoma was 62% and 94%, respectively. A greater proportion of NHL, advanced stage, and profound male preponderance were observed. Improvement in survival can only be achieved with increasing awareness, identifying and tackling causes of abandonment, early referral, and better supportive care.

Abstract
In patients who have lymphoma, the presence and distribution of thoracic involvement is important in both tumor staging and treatment. Thoracic involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is more common than in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In HL, mediastinal lymphadenopathy with contiguous spread is a hallmark, and lung parenchymal involvement at the initial presentation is almost always associated with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. NHL is more heterogeneous and generally presents at a more advanced stage than HL. Most often, mediastinal involvement occurs as a disseminated or recurrent form of extrathoracic lymphoma. Bulky mediastinal disease with compression of adjacent structures can occur, particularly with high-grade subtypes of NHL and isolated lung disease without mediastinal lymphadenopathy can occur in contrast to HL.

Abstract
Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) involving the head and neck have many overlapping imaging features. Definitive diagnosis depends on histology, but imaging trends may help distinguish lymphoma from other common pathologic entities in the head and neck. CT is useful for staging and assessing bony involvement, whereas MR imaging is performed for soft tissue detail in extranodal disease, especially when there is transpatial disease or intracranial or intraspinal extension. Positron emission tomography has become an important part of staging and surveillance imaging and is particularly useful to distinguish posttreatment fibrosis and residual tumor.
