  • Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis mimicking malignancy on 18f fdg pet ct
    Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2017
    Co-Authors: Masatoshi Hotta, Ryogo Minamimoto, Daisuke Suzuki, Atsuko Takahashi
    Abstract:

    We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who underwent F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate the recurrence of urothelial carcinoma. PET/CT showed F-FDG-avid muscles and lymph nodes, mimicking recurrence. However, F-FDG uptake was also seen in multiple joints and subcutaneous tissue, representing an uncommon finding for recurrence. Further history taking revealed she had been pathologically diagnosed with Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) from skin biopsy, and the F-FDG PET/CT findings were consistent with MRH, a rare systemic inflammatory granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Knowledge of the characteristic F-FDG PET/CT features of MRH is important to differentiate MRH from malignancy.

  • 18f fdg pet ct findings in Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis
    Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2016
    Co-Authors: Bing Zhang, Hui Zhou, Jiande Han, Xinchong Shi, Xiangsong Zhang
    Abstract:

    Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis is a rare systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by the infiltration of histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells into multiple systems. The definitive diagnosis depends on biopsy of the affected tissues. Here, we report the F-FDG PET/CT findings of a 62-year-old man with Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis. Increased FDG uptake was observed in cutaneomucosal papules, surrounding tissues of many joints, multiple muscles, and lymph nodes.

  • Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis with hydrarthrosis in both knee joints disease stabilization with synovectomy and medication with a steroid and low dose methotrexate
    Modern Rheumatology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Akio Sakamoto, Ryuji Nagamine, Takeshi Maeda, Toshihide Shuto, Go Hirata, Yasuharu Nakashima, Shuichi Matsuda, Yukihide Iwamoto
    Abstract:

    Abstract  Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis is a rare systemic disease characterized by the infiltration of histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells with cutaneous nodules, and severe destructive arthritis. It is commonly the peripheral joints which are affected, and therefore symptoms in large joints have not been fully investigated. We describe the case of a 44-year-old woman with Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis, who was suffering from swelling in both knee joints and cutaneous nodules, in addition to arthritis in the elbow, hip, and peripheral joints. Magnetic resonance imaging of both knee joints showed hydrarthrosis associated with a tumor-like overgrowth of synovial tissue. These symptoms were reduced following a resection of the synovial tissue and subsequent medication with prednisone and low-dose methotrexate. It should be noted that swelling in the knee joints can be one of the symptoms caused by Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis, in addition to cutaneous nodules and arthritis in the peripheral joints. Resection of synovial tissue, and medication with prednisone and low-dose methotrexate were effective in the present case.
