Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of Wegener's granulomatosis, although this disease shows only atypical symptoms in the primary stage. This report describes a patient suspected of having a malignancy based on integrated 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), which showed increased uptake in pulmonary nodules and nasopharyngeal mucosa. Integrated PET/CT is therefore considered to be useful to confirm the distribution and determine the optimal site for biopsy.
早期诊断对于 Wegener 肉芽肿的有效治疗至关重要，尽管这种疾病在初期阶段仅表现出非典型症状。本报告描述了一例疑似恶性肿瘤的患者，该患者的综合 18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）显示肺结节和鼻咽黏膜摄取增加。因此，综合 PET/CT 被认为有助于确认分布并确定最佳活检部位。
