Transiently Altered Distribution of F-18 FDG in a Patient with Subacute Thyroiditis
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging(2018)
摘要
F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is a highly influential radiotracer that provides valuable information in many cancer types. However, the normal biodistribution of F-18 FDG is often variable and can be altered by intrinsic or iatrogenic factors. We report a case of diffuse symmetrically increased skeletal muscle uptake and relatively decreased hepatic uptake on F-18 FDG PET/CT in a 57-year-old female with pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Detailed clinical evaluation and retrospective radiologic evaluation revealed that she had been diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis 2 weeks ago. After 6 weeks, F-18 FDG distribution was normalized at the follow-up PET/CT study.
