Excerpt

A 77-year-old man with a history of mantle cell lymphoma underwent a FDG PET/CT to explore fever and chest pain. A diffuse high FDG uptake is seen within the wall of the enlarged ascending aorta extending from the aortic valve to the brachiocephalic, right subclavian and left common carotid arteries. A photopenic area in the ascending aorta, best seen on the coronal view, suggests the presence of an intramural haematoma. The study is thus consistent with the diagnosis of acute intramural haematoma of the ascending aorta, which was confirmed by echo Doppler, angio-CT and histological examination. …
