Pineal gland involvement in Erdheim-Chester disease detected on (18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging: a case report and review of literature.
[erdheim-chester disease]
Erdheim-
Chester
disease
(
ECD
)
is
a
rare
non-
Langerhan
's
cell
histiocytosis
affecting
multiple
organ
systems
.
The
most
common
systemic
manifestations
are
bone
lesions
,
infiltration
of
the
pituitary
stalk
sometimes
leading
to
diabetes
insipidus
,
pulmonary
fibrosis
,
cardiac
failure
and
exophthalmus
.
Neurological
symptoms
as
the
first
clinical
manifestations
of
ECD
have
been
reported
in
less
than
one
third
of
cases
.
We
report
a
rare
presentation
of
a
patient
of
ECD
on
18
F-
fluorodeoxyglucose
(
(
18
)
F-FDG
)
positron
emission
tomography-computed
tomography
which
revealed
abnormal
(
18
)
F-FDG
accumulation
in
the
region
of
pineal
gland
,
pericardium
and
bilateral
distal
tibiae
.
