Abstract

Clinically unsuspected foci of abnormal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake are often detected on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, which without careful assessment may be interpreted as metastatic disease, given the background of pre-existing malignancy in these patients. Knowledge of physiological distribution of patterns of FDG is essential to avoid confusing normal uptake with pathological causes.
