I Was Diagnosed With Non-hugkin Lymphoma In The Liver And

Question: I was diagnosed with non-hugkin lymphoma in the liver and the spleen and took 8 rounds of chemoteraphy (R-CHOP). Can you please, explain me the following results of my recent Petscan?:
1. Interval non-visualization of previously detected large hypermetabolic right hepatic lobe and spleen masses. On CT images the corresponding hypoattenuation lesions are smaller and non-hypermetabolic favoring in-active malignant desease.
2. Interval resolution of prior bilateral FDG avid axillary lymph nodes, as well as prior left parotid gland FDG avid nodule.
3. Interval non-visualization of prior hypermetabolic left abdominopelvic peritoneal nodules.
4. No evidence of any suspicious malignant FDG avid uptake focus.
5. Interval development of an uptake focus in the midline lower pelvic cutaneous region favoring an inflammatory process or inadvertent tracer contamination.
6. Small calcification or marker in the left breast's upper outer quadrant. Recommend correlation with mammography.
7. Small R. M. L. pulmonary infiltrate. Recommend imaging follow-up.
8. Re-demonstration of a rounded cyst lesion, about 4 cm, in the right lower pelvis, presumably an ovarian cyst. Recommend correlation with ultrasound unless already performed.
Thanks for your help.

Brief Answer:
This shows resolution of disease spots
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This PET CT report is quite favorable, shows resolution of disease, ie an excellent response to chemotherapy.
There is a probably inflammatory lesion in pelvis, discuss with your doctor if any antibiotics required or not.
There is a breast calcification which is probably benign but a mammogram needs to be done.
Overall, report is very good.
Hope this helps.
Regards
