Abstract

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is an uncommon disease characterized by inflammatory fibrosis typically surrounding abdominal aorta and iliac arteries. The glucose analogue F18-fluorodeoxyglucose can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this report we investigated the usefulness of the FDG PET/CT in the disease activity and therapy response evaluation of retroperitoneal fibrosis.

Resumen

La fibrosis retroperitoneal es una enfermedad poco común caracterizada por fibrosis inflamatoria típicamente en el área de la aorta abdominal y las arterias iliacas. El análogo de la glucosa F18 –fluorodeoxiglucosa puede usarse para obtener imágenes de la actividad celular inflamatoria de manera no invasiva por PET. En este informe, estudiamos la utilidad de FDG PET/TAC en la evaluación de la actividad de la enfermedad y respuesta al tratamiento de la fibrosis retroperitoneal.
