Endoscopic ultrasound – fine needle aspiration of 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F] fluoro-D-glucose avid lymph nodes seen on positron emission tomography- computed tomography –what looks like cancer may not always be so

BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from malignancies often undergo serial positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET-CT) scans, using 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) for diagnosis and follow up.
