Abstract:
A 62-year-old man with a history of breakpoint cluster region-ABL-positive chronic myeloid leukemia treated with hydroxyurea and interferon alfa for 4 years presented a lesion in the left lateral lobe of the liver. Besides an FDG-avid lesion, his 18F-FDG PET/CT study showed intense and diffuse FDG uptake (reminiscent of a hepatic superscan) throughout the rest of the left lobe and the right anterior lobe of the liver. This interesting superscan indicated that patients with chronic myeloid leukemia may show hepatic involvement by leukemia cells.

Hepatic Portal System
At its core, the hepatic portal vein is the result of a confluence of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins along with the splenic vein. Each of these veins has a unique role. The superior mesenteric vein is...

Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
