    F-18-FDG PET/CT texture analysis of anthracotic lymph nodes detected with EBUS and comparison with cytological findings

    Objective: Lymph node metastasis is the most important factor both in the selection of treatment since many alternatives have been created in recent years, and in the evaluation of prognosis in lung cancer. The most unpredictable cause of lymph node false positivity in fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT) is anthracosis. The aim of this study is to compare F-18-FDG PET/CT texture information of anthracotic (ALN) and metastatic (MLN) lymph nodes, after reevaluation of the cytological samples obtained from anthracotic lymph nodes by EBUS-TBNA. Subjects and Methods: Ninety nine patients, 78 of whom had primary lung cancer were included in the study. Two hundred and three lymph nodes from 99 patients sampled by EBUS-TBNA and diagnosed cytologically as ALN or MLN were evaluated retrospectively. All ALN were classified as grades 1, 2 and 3 cytologically. Volume of interest (VOI) of 203 lymph nodes was re-drawn and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MN) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) values were recorded. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in MTV and TLG values in MLN and all ALN grades. However, only grade 1-2 ALN could be differentiated from MLN with SUVmax, and no statistically significant difference was found in grade 3 ALN and MLN. Metabolic tumor volume and TLG values over 4.10cm(3) and 26.57 showed 60% and 59% sensitivity and 83% and 94 specificity respectively for the identification of MLN. Conclusions: The contribution of MTV and TLG values of F-18-FDG PET/CT to the differential diagnosis of ALN is much more valuable than SUVmax values, especially for grade 3 anthracosis. It was thought that cytological reporting of only grade 3 ALN could make a better contribution to the F-18-FDG PET/CT evaluation analysis.
