Tuberculosis is an endemic disease in India for decades, and its coexistence in the patients with malignancy cannot be ignored. The non-specific uptake of 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-D-glucose in active infection and malignancy can affect the diagnosis and management of patients. However, characteristic anatomical features of the lesion aid not only in its localization but also in diagnosis. We share an interesting case of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of dorsal spine mimicking skeletal metastases in a treated case of carcinoma cervix.
几十年来，结核病在印度一直是一种地方病，其在恶性肿瘤患者中的共存情况不容忽视。2-脱氧-2-[氟-18]氟-D-葡萄糖在活动性感染和恶性肿瘤中的非特异性摄取会影响患者的诊断和治疗。然而，病变的特征性解剖学特征不仅有助于其定位，也有助于诊断。我们分享一个有趣的病例，在一名宫颈癌治疗病例中，患者的背部脊柱出现坏死性肉芽肿性炎症，酷似骨转移。
