In the cancer screening with FDG PET for 1,872 medical health club members, high FDG accumulation in the parotid gland was found in four males (age, 57-70 years). Warthin's tumor was confirmed by surgical pathology. The exact mechanism of high FDG accumulation in Warthin's tumor is not yet known. This tumor may be found incidentally during FDG PET studies. When high FDG accumulation is found in the parotid gland, integrated consideration of the results of the physical examination, medical history and 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy makes it possible to differentiate Warthin's tumor from other lesions.
在对1872名健身俱乐部会员进行的FDG PET癌症筛查中,4名男性(年龄57 - 70岁)的腮腺出现了高FDG摄取。经手术病理证实为沃辛瘤。沃辛瘤中高FDG摄取的确切机制尚不清楚。这种肿瘤可能在FDG PET检查中偶然发现。当在腮腺发现高FDG摄取时,综合考虑体格检查、病史和99mTc - 高锝酸盐闪烁扫描的结果,有助于将沃辛瘤与其他病变区分开来。
