The involvement of breast tissue with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) has been reported in very few cases up to date. We report a 33-year-old woman who had been treated and followed up with nodular sclerosing HL for 7 years, and admitted with recurrent disease. The fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) images revealed disseminated disease with the involvement of bilateral breast tissues showing FDG uptake. In this case, the breast involvement of HL was confirmed by histopathological results.

D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.
