PET-CT study for an 8-year-old female child presented with fever and abdominal pain. Abdominal US revealed bilateral kidney masses that were pathologically proved to be non-Hodgkin’s lymphoblastic lymphoma. To the left: Initial study shows metabolically active FDG-avid infiltrates involving both kidneys, bone marrow, and bone. To the right: Interim PET-CT study shows complete disappearance of all lesions except a residual bone marrow lesion at left femur with SUVmax ~ 2.63. The visual interpretation of this study using 5P-DS was positive (score 4) as left femoral activity was higher than that of liver, while it was negative using rDS (rDS = 1.05) which is less than the cutoff point (liver max ~ 2.5). The follow-up showed complete cure of the patient (35 months)
