The purpose of the current study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET or PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detection of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) through a systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ The current meta-analysis showed the high sensitivity and specificity of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT for the detection of PTLD. At present, the literature regarding the use of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT for the detection of PTLD remains limited; thus, further large multicenter studies would be necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of F-18 FDG PET or PET/CT for the diagnosis of PTLD.
