Bronchial anthracofibrosis characterized by bronchostenosis associated with anthracotic pigmentation in bronchoscopic finding without a relevant history of pneumoconiosis or smoking has been recently described as a clinical entity. Radiologic finding of bronchial obstructive lesion and mediastinal lymph nodes in bronchial anthracofibrosis can be mimicking cancer. However, the metabolic characteristics of bronchial anthracofibrosis have hardly been reported. Here, we report a case of bronchial anthracofibrosis which showing hypermetabolism on F-18 FDG PET.
最近有人描述了一种支气管炭末沉着纤维化的临床实体，其特征是支气管狭窄，支气管镜检查发现与炭末沉着有关的色素沉着，但无尘肺或吸烟的相关病史。支气管炭末沉着纤维化的放射学表现为支气管阻塞性病变和纵隔淋巴结，可能与癌症相似。然而，支气管炭末沉着纤维化的代谢特征鲜有报道。在此，我们报告一例 F-18 FDG PET 显示高代谢的支气管炭末沉着纤维化病例。
