Fasciola Hepatica Mimicking Malignancy on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
A 48-year-old female with complaints of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, and weight loss was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumor after removal of a 2 mm lesion from the stomach with endoscopic biopsy. Her magnetic resonance imaging that was performed due to on-going symptoms showed multiple linear hypointense lesions in the liver. Positron emission to...
متن کاملPulmonary arteriovenous malformation mimicking a pulmonary tumour on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare congenital abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins. The patients are usually asymptomatic [1]. Although their aetiology is unclear, it is presumed that genetic abnormalities constitute a predisposition [1, 2]. An arteriovenous malformation might cause serious complications if it remains undiagnosed and untreated [3]. We report...
متن کاملPreoperative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography can predict the tumor malignancy of small peripheral lung cancer.
PURPOSE Recent advances in image diagnostic technology have enhanced the discovery of peripheral small size lung cancers. Here, we examined the utility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for the evaluation of grade of tumor malignant potency. METHODS Seventy-nine patients with peripheral small lung cancers (≤2 cm) who underwent surgical resections and preoperativ...
متن کامل[18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-CT imaging of carotidynia.
Carotidynia is an idiopathic syndrome characterized by pain over the carotid bifurcation without associated luminal pathologic process. The classification of carotidynia as a distinct disease rather than as a symptom has generated controversy in the literature. Recent reports, however, suggest that carotidynia is a distinct disease characterized by the presence of enhancing soft tissue in the c...
متن کاملImaging atherosclerotic plaque inflammation with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is usually a consequence of inflammatory cell activity within the plaque. Current imaging techniques provide anatomic data but no indication of plaque inflammation. The glucose analogue [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this study we tested whether 18FDG-PET imaging can identify in...
