Abstract

A 50-year-old farmer with plasma cell granuloma had PET scans showing marked accumulation of C-11 Met. The PET had superiority in imaging the existence and extent of the lesion and monitored therapeutic response as compared with CT and MR imaging. PET yields information on hemocirculatory and metabolic aspects of this rare disease.
