The most common features of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia on chest computed tomography imaging are ground glass opacity and consolidation. Mediastinal and hilar lymph node enlargement are less frequently observed. Herein, we present an unexpected finding of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid hilar lymph node in an asymptomatic patient with COVID-19, and show that this is a transient phenomenon, subsiding on a follow-up FDG-PET/CT within 10 days.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)胸部计算机断层扫描成像的最常见特征是磨玻璃影和实变。纵隔和肺门淋巴结肿大较少见。在此,我们报告了1例无症状COVID-19患者出现意外的氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)摄取阳性的肺门淋巴结,并表明这是一种短暂现象,在10天内的随访FDG-PET/CT检查中消退。
