Small Primary Cutaneous γδT-Cell Lymphoma Lesions Successfully Treated With Pralatrexate

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Feb;44(2):e85-e86. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002409.

Abstract

Here we report on the treatment of a 38-year-old woman with primary cutaneous γδT-cell lymphoma, which is a rare subset of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. She presented with multiple subtle subcutaneous nodules, which were not clearly observed on computed tomography scans or after biopsy. However, F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET) accurately detected small cutaneous lesions. She achieved a second complete remission, as demonstrated by F-FDG-PET performed after pralatrexate infusion.
