In the following report, we describe 11 patients with various diagnoses and different treatment statuses (newly diagnosed, receiving treatment, or follow-up) of oncological diseases (breast, lymphoma, melanoma, and head and neck cancers). The patients underwent PET-CT for disease staging or follow-up and it was noted that all patients had areas of hypermetabolic uptake in the axillary lymph-nodes of the ipsilateral upper extremity where the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine was administered. Following further investigations, including an ultrasound (US), biopsies and an examination of medical records, it was concluded that these findings were the result of the vaccination and not a progression of pre-existing disease.
在以下报告中，我们描述了 11 例患有不同诊断和不同治疗状态（新诊断、正在治疗或随访）的肿瘤疾病（乳腺癌、淋巴瘤、黑色素瘤和头颈部癌症）的患者。这些患者进行了 PET-CT 疾病分期或随访，结果发现所有患者在接种辉瑞-生物科技（COVID-19）疫苗的同侧上肢腋窝淋巴结区域均有高代谢摄取区域。进一步的检查，包括超声（US）、活检和病历检查，得出的结论是这些发现是疫苗接种的结果，而不是先前疾病的进展。
