Schwannomas mistaken for metastases of melanoma in PET‐CT: A diagnostic challenge with consequences

The incidence of skin cancer and especially cutaneous malignant melanoma is rising, as are indications for staging examinations to detect metastasis. Schwannomas are common benign nerve tumors, which can be mistaken for metastasis even in highly specialized imaging. Risk of nerve lesion is high in i...
