126 patients with histological diagnosis of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were examined using combined positronemission and computed tomography with radiotracer 18F-deoxyglucose. For staging Ann Arbor classification (1971) with Costwolds modification (1989) was used. The combined positron-emission and computed tomography pattern of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma was established. Morphofunctional characteristics of lymphoma were determined in cases of lymph node, spleen, liver, kidneys, bones and lung lesion. Using combined positron-emission and computed tomography it can provide more accuracy in staging of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
