The patientwas successfully treated with a first generation therapy,CHOP modified regimen (cyclophosphamide 600mg/m^2 intravenously on d 1, epirubicin 55mg/m^2 intravenously on d 1, vincristine 1.2 mg/m^2 intravenously on d 1,prednisone 60 mg/m^2 on d 1-5), and a complete response was achieved. The (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was used to assess the therapy outcome. A brief review of literature is provided.展开更多
