A Unique Case of Increased 18F-FDG Metabolic Activity in the Soft Tissues of the Bilateral Upper Thighs Due to Immunizations in a Pediatric Patient

A case of a 7-month-old white female who was referred for 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) initial evaluation of a lytic skull lesion with presumed diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is described. Incidentally, she was found to have hyper...
