18F-FDG PET/CT can play significant role in evaluation of patients with cutaneous lymphoma. The Objective was to evaluate role of 18FFDG PET/CT in patients of cutaneous lymphoma. 32 patients (52±20.5 years; M/F-22/10) underwent 50 18F-FDG PET/CT studies were evaluated qualitatively and semiquantitatively (SUVmax). Histopathology was taken as gold standard. 31 PET/CT studies were positive with 93.5% Sensitivity, 89% specificity and 92% accuracy. 27 Cutaneous lesions, 17 nodal lesions, 3 splenic lesions & 1 liver lesion were noted. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PET/CT for cutaneous lesions were 90%, 100% and 94%, and for nodal lesions were 100%, 94%, and 96%. Mean SUVmax of cutaneous lesions (5.1±2.8) & nodal lesions (4.4±2.7). FDG PET/CT has high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in patients of cutaneous lymphoma.
