Spleen scan in histiocytic lymphoma: response to therapy

Clin Nucl Med. 1979 Jan;4(1):18-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-197901000-00005.

Abstract

Spleen scan demonstration of space-occupying lesions in patients with histiocytic lymphoma is a sensitive but not a specific finding. However, response to therapy could be evaluated if pretreatment scans show well-defined space-occupying lesions and posttreatment scans showed resolution of those changes.
