organizing hematoma of the maxillary sinus mimicking malignancy diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (fdg pet/ct): a case report
in this report, we have presented 18fdg-pet findings of organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus (ohms) that showed an increased fdg uptake in the peripheral rim of the mass with central photopenia. to our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature reporting fdg-pet/ct findings of ohms. careful interpretation of metabolic (fdg-pet/ct) and anatomic (ct and mri) images should be ...
متن کاملOrganizing Hematoma of the Maxillary Sinus Mimicking Malignancy Diagnosed by Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography (FDG PET/CT): A Case Report
Organizing hematoma of the paranasal sinuses is a diagnostic dilemma clinically and radiographically, mimicking benign or malignant neoplastic processes. Although the diagnostic rate of this disease has increased as characteristic imaging findings are somewhat elucidated, endoscopic examination, preoperative biopsy, and computed tomography (CT) imaging do not give helpful information in differe...
متن کاملFasciola 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 کاملFalse-positive 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scans mimicking malignancies.
AIM 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging modality that is often used to help differentiate benign from malignant pulmonary lesions and it has been shown to be more efficacious than conventional chest computed tomography (CT). However, some benign lesions may also show increased metabolic activity which can lead to false-positive PET...
متن کاملF-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: a case report
Introduction: This case of giant cell arteritis is noteworthy because it evaded standard diagnostic criteria and only emerged as fever of unknown origin. In this regard, we present F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a valid diagnostic method. Case presentation: This case report describes a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who is a cigarette smoker with a 10-week history of fever of...
