COVID vaccination has begun in most of the countries. Older population and high-risk groups are prioritized for vaccination. Postvaccination imaging in cancer patients may show effects of the immune response to the vaccine. As such, it is important to know the timing and laterality of the vaccination as the reactive lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axilla can be seen on the imaging. We present a case of DOTATATE-avid nonpathologically enlarged lymph nodes in ipsilateral axilla and linear tracer uptake in the deltoid muscle on a patient imaged for a recent diagnosis of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasm.
COVID 疫苗接种已在大多数国家开始。老年人和高危人群优先接种疫苗。癌症患者接种疫苗后的影像学检查可能显示出对疫苗的免疫反应的影响。因此,了解疫苗接种的时间和侧别很重要,因为可以在同侧腋窝看到反应性淋巴结。我们报告了一例在近期诊断为直肠神经内分泌肿瘤的患者的图像中,同侧腋窝处 DOTATATE 阳性的非病理性增大淋巴结和三角肌内线性示踪剂摄取。
