Abstract

Some patients use complementary medicine. We present a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, scanned with 18F-FDG PET/CT for evaluation of response after chemotherapy, who was self-administering mistletoe as a homeopathic medicine product.

The careful review of the images of the entire scan and patient collaboration in anamnesis were crucial to avoid a false positive result.

A review of the published scientific data on the effects of mistletoe is also presented.

Resumen

Algunas personas usan terapias alternativas. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con enfermedad de Hodgkin a la que se realiza una 18F-FDG PET/TC para evaluar la respuesta tras quimioterapia, en paciente que se autoadministraba muérdago como tratamiento homeopático.

La cuidadosa evaluación de todas las imágenes de la prueba y la colaboración de la paciente durante la anamnesis fueron cruciales para evitar un resultado falso positivo.

Además, se revisan los datos publicados sobre los efectos del muérdago.
