Extranodal-multiorgan involvement is rarely presented in diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography findings of a 22-year-old female patient with supra/infra-diaphragmatic nodal and skeletal involvements and thyroid, pancreas, right breast, bilateral renal, and ovarian involvements were presented.

Keywords: Extranodal-multiorgan involvement, 18F-FDG, PET/CT, diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
