A member asked:
35yr female,mri showed tumor on t6,pet scan showed hypermetabolism in lymph nodes neck,chest ,med.focal uptake in esophagus.what can that be? lymphoma
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphoma: A biopsy of the lymph node or one of the other sites is required to establish a diagnosis. The T6 lesion can be biopsied and bone cement placed in the vertebral body (kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty) if the pain is significant between the shoulder blades. An oncologist can provide a plan for treatment.
