چکیده
A 72-year-old male patient with a history of cutaneous mycosis fungoides, in clinical remission after treatment, underwent fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) for restaging due to the recent appearance of lung nodules on CT. PET/CT images showed multiple areas of increased radiopharmaceutical uptake corresponding to several bilateral pulmonary nodules (Fig. 1A–C).
