Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is an inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, with no specific diagnostic tests. A 17-year-old female presented with fevers, night sweats and weight loss. Markedly FDG avid lymphadenopathy, and diffuse marrow and splenic uptake were demonstrated on [18F]FDG-PET/CT, most suggestive of lymphoma. After extensive investigations, the working diagnosis of AOSD was made. Other conditions, such AOSD, in addition to lymphoproliferative disorders, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of widespread avid lymphadenopathy in a teenager/young adult |
