Comparison between extranodal and nodal lesions.

Caption	Extranodal Lesion	Nodal Lesion	p
SUVmax	10.5 (7.7–11.3)	5.0 (4.4–9.4)	0.04
MTV	7.7 (3.9–157.6)	2.0 (1.5–11.6)	0.02
TLG	49.5 (22.7–959.8)	7.8 (4.7–75.2)	0.02

Continuous variables are reported as median and IQR. This comparison included studies that identified both extranodal and nodal lesions (n = 10). PET parameters of the “hottest” extranodal lesion and the “hottest” nodal lesion were compared. SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; TLG, total lesion glycolysis.
