2 Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET in patients with extranodal MALT lymphoma and assessed its reliability in clinical staging and monitoring response. Methods and Materials A total of 70 patients of 82 sites with a histological diagnosis of extranodal MALT lymphoma were referred. All informations were obtained from a retrospective review of medical records, PET findings and data. FDG-PET imaging was performed using ECAT EXACT HR 47, ECAT ACCEL, BIOGRAPH DUO LSO (PET/CT), or Aquiduo 16 (PET/CT). Imaging was performed at 60 minutes after the intravenous administration of MBq F18-FDG. Each patient had been fasting for at least 4 hours when imaged, and a normal glucose level was confirmed prior to the PET scan. Regional FDG uptake in the affected area was expressed as standardized uptake value (SUV). Stastical anlysis of defferenced between each site, stage was carried out using SPSS Regression Modes 9.0J. Results Page 2 of 12

3 Seventy patients in this study included 29 men (41.2%) and 41 women(58.8%) with a median age at diagnosis of 64 years (range 33 to 90 y)(figure 1). The sites of MALT were the orbit (n = 34)(Figure 2), stomach (n = 22)(Figure 3), lung (n = 9), intestine (n =4), thyroid(n=3), bone marrow (n =3). head & neck (epipharynx, tonsil, sublingual gland, lip, larynx)(n=6), intestine (rectum, ileum, cecum)(n=4),breast (n=1), esophagus(n=1), liver (n=1)(figure 4). The SUVmax of FDG was <1.5 at 3 sites (orbit, n = 2; lung, n = 1), 1.5~2.5 at 21 sites (orbit,n=14; bone marrow,n=2; lung, stomach, lip and larynx, each one) and >2.5 at 60 sites ( Figure4). Sensitivity in orbital MALT(50.0%) and marrow MALT(33.3%) was lower when compared with non-orbital, non-marrow MALT(89.4%). The stages were # in 51 patients (sensitivity in 74.5%), # in 12 (sensitivity in 66.7%), and # in 7 (sensitivity in 71.5%). Other findings were: high LDH in 4 of the 69 patients (5.7%), high serum interleukin 2 receptor in 35 of 67 (52.2%)(Figure 1), CD20-, n=2 (lung and tonsil), CD5-,CD10-; n=76 (91.6%),CD5-, CD10+; n=2 (orbit)(2.4%), CD5+,CD10-; n=5(orbit)(6%), Bcl2+, n=71(97.3%), Bcl2-, n=2 (2.7%), Bcl6-, n=57(90.5%), Bcl6+, n=6(9.5%)(figure 5). Fifteen patients of gastric MALT were positive for Helicobacter pylori (68.2%) (Figure 1). There was a significant difference between stage 1 nad 4, orbit and stomach (Figure 6 ) Of the 70 studied patients, 23 were followed up FDG-PET, which detected relapse in four of them (Figure 7,8).

12 Conclusion The SUVmax of MALT was >1.5 at 79 sites (Sensiyivity 96.3%). We identified FDG avidity in 71.4% of extra-nodal MALT lymphoma but in 50.0% of orbital MALT. Two patients with bone marrow invasion were understaged. However, these results suggested that PET is a useful tool with which to stage, restage after therapy, or monitor disease in patients with extra- nodal MALT lymphoma. References 1. Perry C,et al.
