title: FDG PET/CT in Type I Glycogen Storage Disease.
abstract: Type I glycogen storage disease (GSD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency. We report herein the particular pattern provided by FDG PET imaging in a 33-year-old patient with type Ib GSD. PET images yielded evidence of a pulmonary infectious focus as well as of: (1) a dramatically enlarged liver leading to a high global FDG uptake, (2) increased bone marrow activity, (3) splenomegalia leading to a high global spleen uptake, (4) a diffuse enhancement in muscle FDG uptake.
