Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the ongoing global pandemic. It can manifest a wide range of complications depending upon the severity of infection and comorbidities of the patient. Vaccines are very important measure to provide protection against COVID-19. We report a case of 72-year-old female with past medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who underwent imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) scan imaging for staging of her small cell urinary bladder cancer and was found to have hypermetabolic uptake in the deltoid muscle of the left shoulder and hypermetabolic left axillary and pectoral lymph nodes due to mRNA BNT-162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) vaccine administrated 3 days ago prior to PET scan.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起，已导致持续的全球大流行。根据感染的严重程度和患者的合并症，它可表现出广泛的并发症。疫苗是预防COVID-19的非常重要的措施。我们报告一例72岁女性，既往有高血压和糖尿病病史，因小细胞膀胱癌分期接受正电子发射断层扫描（PET）成像检查，发现在PET扫描前3天接种mRNA BNT-162b2（辉瑞-生物科技COVID-19疫苗）后，左肩部三角肌、左腋窝和胸肌淋巴结出现代谢增高摄取。
