Pericardial sarcoidosis presenting as PUO diagnosed on FDG PET CT scan
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a common problem in day-to-day practice. FDG PET CT is an established investigation that aids in identifying the cause of PUO. Due to its high sensitivity PET detects an occult hypermetabolic focus in the body where CT helps in anatomical localization, vascularity, enhancement characteristics of the lesion detected on PET. It helps to differentiate benign vers...

متن کاملScar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT
18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Dual Malignancy by 18F-FDG PET/CT in the Setting of Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration.
We describe a rare case of paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (with detectable antineuronal antibody anti-Yo) in which (18)F-FDG PET/CT aided in the detection of 2 synchronous malignancies (one thyroid cancer and the other breast cancer). Interestingly, the primary breast malignancy was non-(18)F-FDG-avid and was detected through the presence of a metastatic (18)F-FDG-avid axillary lymph no...
متن کاملorganizing hematoma of the maxillary sinus mimicking malignancy diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (fdg pet/ct): a case report
in this report, we have presented 18fdg-pet findings of organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus (ohms) that showed an increased fdg uptake in the peripheral rim of the mass with central photopenia. to our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature reporting fdg-pet/ct findings of ohms. careful interpretation of metabolic (fdg-pet/ct) and anatomic (ct and mri) images should be ...
