We investigated the hematopoietic status of aplastic anemia with FDG-PET before and after immunosuppressive therapy. FDG-PET showed a patchy uptake pattern before treatment, indicating residual compensatory hypercellular marrow. Three years after successful treatment with ATG plus CsA, the heterogeneity of bone marrow uptake persisted, suggesting that expanded reconstitution of hematopoiesis may require a long time even after the achievement of hematological remission.

(18)F-FDG PET/CT on a 23-year-old woman with aplastic anemia and left periorbital swelling showed FDG-avid lesions in the head and neck. The lesions were confirmed to be mucormycosis histologically after (18)F-FDG PET/CT-guided biopsy. Antifungal therapy was adjusted with serial follow-up (18)F-FDG PET/CT until complete patient recovery. (18)F-FDG PET/CT is valuable in the diagnosis and management of mucormycosis.
