The false-positive finding of left pulmonary Kimura disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Kimura disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs mainly in Asians. We present a patient with pulmonary Kimura disease assessed by whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT examination and proved by pathologic findings. Chest x-ray detected left pulmonary hilum enlargement in a 49-year-old Chinese man.

(18)F-FDG PET/CT in primary right eyelid lymphoma.

A 74-year-old man with right upper eyelid swell accepted FDG PET/CT examination, which showed an intensely FDG-avid soft tissue nodular mass within the eyelid. It was suggestive of malignancy. There was no evidence of active neoplastic disease elsewhere.

The appearance of pulmonary mucormycosis on FDG PET/CT.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a life-threatening opportunistic mycosis that is difficult to diagnose early. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who complained of intermittent fever in the afternoon and productive cough and pain on the right side of the chest. Her clinical condition deteriorated despite antibiotherapy.

PET/CT appearance of appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

Appendiceal cancer is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis because it is usually found at an advanced stage. We report the case of a 58-year-old man with appendiceal adenocarcinoma, who complained of right lower abdominal malaise for a couple of months. The tumor was detected early on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and F-18 FDG PET/CT.
