PET was performed for staging and revealed additional involvement of left cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes as well as right lung (arrows). This finding resulted in upstaging from stage I to stage II and change in treatment from irradiation to medical treatment. (B) A 27-y-old female patient with HD. After treatment with chemotherapy, she had cervical recurrence 2 y later. Repeated chemotherapy resulted in remission. Five months later, CT scan revealed multiple equivocal 8- to 10-mm lymph nodes in right axilla. PET revealed right axillary lymphadenopathy, right supra- and infraclavicular and left infraclavicular nodes (arrows), and retroperitoneal and pelvic involvement. As result of PET, patient underwent salvage chemotherapy followed by allogenic bone marrow transplantation.
