The findings of plaque formation in the carotid artery by ultrasonography at (c) pretreatment and (d) after eight cycles of R-CHOP. After eight cycles of treatment, the patient achieved complete remission. FDG-PET: fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography; R-CHOP: rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone.
