We present a case demonstrating the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of a patient with acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in which the clinical picture and imaging on (18)F-FDG PET/CT mimicked malignant lymphoma. Follow-up (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan in the patient performed 7 weeks after the abnormal scan revealed complete resolution of the metabolically active disease in the neck, axillas, lung hili, and spleen. This case highlights inflammation as one of the most well established false positives when interpreting (18)F-FDG PET/CT scans.
我们呈现了一个病例，展示了一位急性 EBV 感染患者的诊断过程和随访情况，其临床表现和影像学表现（18）F-FDG PET/CT 类似于恶性淋巴瘤。在异常扫描后 7 周对患者进行的（18）F-FDG PET/CT 随访扫描显示颈部、腋窝、肺门和脾脏的代谢活跃性疾病完全消退。本病例强调了炎症是解释（18）F-FDG PET/CT 扫描时最常见的假阳性之一。
