COVID-19 vaccination may cause FDG uptake beyond axillary area

BACKGROUND: The vaccination immune response may induce false-positive (18)F-FDG PET/CT uptake. CASE PRESENTATION: An extended supraclavicular lymph nodal activation after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination revealed on (18)F-FDG PET/CT mimics a Virchow nodule in a patient with medical hi...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The vaccination immune response may induce false-positive (18)F-FDG PET/CT uptake. CASE PRESENTATION: An extended supraclavicular lymph nodal activation after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination revealed on (18)F-FDG PET/CT mimics a Virchow nodule in a patient with medical history of well-differentiated appendicular adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION: This case highlights a nodal activation beyond axillary area and the importance of documenting vaccination history at the time of scanning to avoid false-positive results.
