Case report: incidental findings of COVID-19 infection on positron emission tomography/computed tomography for staging of a giant gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor

We report the incidental finding of COVID-19 in a 59-year-old male, with no significant cardiorespiratory past medical history who underwent a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan for investigation of a likely gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). There may be sign...

description We report the incidental finding of COVID-19 in a 59-year-old male, with no significant cardiorespiratory past medical history who underwent a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan for investigation of a likely gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). There may be significant discrepancies between clinical symptoms and radiological severity with COVID-19 infection. FDG-PET scanning has the potential to complement traditional radiological imaging in COVID-19 in diagnosis of subclinical diagnosis or early stage disease, as well as monitoring disease progression.
