F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has proved clinically useful for both malignant and inflammatory lesions. The author describes a 54-year-old woman with previously treated carcinoma of the breast. There was spontaneous rupture of a breast implant placed previously as part of a reconstruction. While being evaluated clinically, prominent axillary lymph nodes were palpated on the ipsilateral side of the recent implant rupture. An F-18 FDG PET scan demonstrated intense uptake in these nodes. Lymph node biopsy demonstrated benign inflammatory reaction and no recurrence of malignancy.
F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）正电子发射断层扫描（PET）已被证明在临床上对恶性和炎性病变均有用。作者描述了一名54岁曾接受过乳腺癌治疗的女性。先前作为重建一部分植入的乳房假体发生了自发性破裂。在临床评估期间，在最近假体破裂同侧可触及明显的腋窝淋巴结。F-18 FDG PET扫描显示这些淋巴结有强烈摄取。淋巴结活检显示为良性炎症反应，无恶性肿瘤复发。
