Follow-up of T-lymphoblastic Lymphoma During Chemotherapy, in Patient Who Underwent Radiotherapy and Talc Pleurodesis

MIP: pathological glucose consumption of the mediastinal pleura, in the superior lobe and in the cardio-phrenic area, due to granulomatous reaction. No other focal areas of pathological metabolism were found
