The role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing cardiac infiltration and therapeutic evaluation in extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma: a case report
Extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and primarily involves the nasopharynx. We report a rare case of extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma with widespread lymphomatous infiltration, including cardiac involvement, an exceedingly uncommon manifestation. This case emphasizes the pivotal role of<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing and evaluating treatment outcomes in extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma.
