[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography computed tomography is a useful tool to suggest the diagnosis of malignant processes. However, false positive results are known to occur in benign lesions that have a high metabolic activity. Here we describe the unusual diagnosis of a pulmonary endometrioma in a 47-year-old woman, presenting as a cavitary lung mass with intense (18)F-FDG uptake on PET-CT.
[18F]-氟代-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描计算机断层扫描是一种有助于提示恶性病变诊断的有用工具。然而,已知在具有高代谢活性的良性病变中会出现假阳性结果。在此,我们描述了一名47岁女性肺子宫内膜瘤的罕见诊断,该患者表现为肺空洞性肿块,在PET-CT上有强烈的(18)F-FDG摄取。
