title: Focally Increased FDG Activity in the Liver Related to Hydropic Degeneration.
abstract: A 50-year-old man, who had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the neck and just finished 4 cycles of chemotherapy, presented to our department to evaluate the status of the disease. FDG PET/CT revealed a focally increased activity in the right lobe of the liver. However, pathological examination showed hepatocyte hydropic degeneration with associated inflammatory cells without evidence of malignancy.
