New axillary lymph nodal F-18 fluoro-deoxy glucose uptake in an interim positron emission tomography scan – not always a sign of disease progression

Fluoro-deoxy glucose (FDG) is a non-specific tracer and may accumulate in non-malignant conditions causing potential pitfalls leading to false-positive interpretations of interim positron emission tomography scan. We report a case of a potential pitfall of false-positive axillary lymph nodal F-18 FD...

description Fluoro-deoxy glucose (FDG) is a non-specific tracer and may accumulate in non-malignant conditions causing potential pitfalls leading to false-positive interpretations of interim positron emission tomography scan. We report a case of a potential pitfall of false-positive axillary lymph nodal F-18 FDG uptake caused by injection extravasation.
