title: Incidental Detection of a Hodgkin Lymphoma on 18F-Choline PET/CT and Comparison With 18F-FDG in a Patient With Prostate Cancer.
abstract: Combined PET/CT scanning with (18)F-FDG is in current use in Hodgkin lymphoma. New tracers have been developed, such as (18)F-choline in prostate cancer. Its use is under investigation in other solid tumors (eg, brain, liver, lung). We report a case of Hodgkin lymphoma incidentally detected on (18)F-choline PET/CT in a prostate cancer patient and show a comparison with (18)F-FDG PET/CT. (18)F-choline PET/CT detected more lymph node lesions than the (18)F-FDG PET/CT for this patient. Comparative studies of the 2 tracers might help fine-tune treatments and, in particular, delineate target zones in radiation therapy.
