Human herpes virus 8-unrelated primary effusion lymphoma-like lymphoma diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computer tomography and laparoscopy.
[primary effusion lymphoma]
Human
herpes
virus
8
-
unrelated
primary
effusion
lymphoma
(
PEL
)
-
like
lymphoma
is
a
rare
type
of
large
B
cell
lymphoma
.
This
report
presents
the
case
of
a
male
with
abdominal
pain
and
distension
who
was
found
to
have
massive
ascites
and
enhanced
peritoneum
,
mesenterium
and
greater
omentum
on
enhanced
computer
tomography
(
CT
)
scan
with
negative
ascitic
cytology
.
The
diagnosis
of
PEL
-like
lymphoma
was
established
by
fluorodeoxyglucose
(
FDG
)
positron
emission
tomography
(
PET
)
/
CT
and
laparoscopic
biopsy
of
the
greater
omentum
.
To
the
best
of
our
knowledge
,
this
is
only
the
second
case
report
to
describe
FDG
PET
/
CT
presentations
of
PEL
-like
lymphoma
,
and
the
first
case
report
to
use
laparoscopy
for
diagnosis
.
