A 63-year-old woman with a history of anemia resulting from β-thalassemia minor was referred for whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with F-18-FDG. She had a provisional diagnosis of pulmonary malignancy or lymphoma. PET showed moderate, diffuse F-18 FDG uptake in both lungs in a pattern consistent with inflammation and also splenomegaly with homogeneously increased FDG uptake. Biopsy of the pulmonary lesions revealed a diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) and ruled out pulmonary malignancy and lymphoma. We suspect that the increased FDG uptake in the spleen is the result of extramedullary hematopoiesis secondary to β-thalassemia.
