Giant parathyroid adenoma and hungry bone syndrome in MEN1 syndrome: A case report.

An 18-year-old male with multiple endocrine neoplasm type 1 (MEN1) syndrome presented with hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroidectomy was performed. Patient complained of bone pain afterwards, multiple imaging modalities revealed features of osteitis fibrosa cystica and biochemical profile showed features of hungry bone syndrome.

Retrospective study of qualitative assessment in detecting synchronous and metachronous malignancies in adult cancer patients by 18 F-FDG PET/CT.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the frequency of incidental suspicious lesions detected by flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) scans done for staging or restaging in adult cancer patients. We further determined the detection rate of synchronous and metachronous malignancies in these suspicious lesions after further investigations.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis evaluated the consecutive patients with 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans done in Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Hong Kong between July 2021 and June 2022.

A case series of FDG PET scan: hypometabolic lesions that matter in oncology.

Interpretation of FDG PET images in oncology patients is in general a visual exercise of search for focal increased uptake (hypermetabolism). However, in some cases, hypometabolism (focal decreased uptake) can matter as much as hypermetabolism. We report three cases of FDG PET studies for oncological indications.

A case of dermatopathic lymphadenitis mimicking lymphoma on F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging.

This case report illustrates a rare case of dermatopathic lymphadenitis with interval F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography performed. The clinical presentation, imaging, and histological findings are described. We discuss the diagnostic challenges in this case.

Semi-quantitative assessment optimized the grading of pulmonary aspiration on salivagram in children.

Objective: Salivagram is one of the imaging modalities to detect pulmonary aspiration in children. This study aims to optimize the classification of pulmonary aspiration detected by salivagram with a semi-quantitative analytical method.

Methods: This is a retrospective study involving 737 patients (471 males, 266 females; aged 1 month to 8 years; mean age 5.

An update on the role of F-FDG-PET/CT in major infectious and inflammatory diseases.

For decades, conventional nuclear medicine techniques have been utilized for the assessment of many infectious and inflammatory diseases. Most of these techniques have limitations such as the relatively low spatial resolution, being time consuming and low sensitivity or specificity. In recent years, FDG-PET/CT has shown promising role in the management of such diseases.

Massive pericardial effusion: A rare and easily missed finding in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

A 72-year-old gentleman underwent myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) for sinus tachycardia of unknown cause. Baseline electrocardiography (ECG) showed sinus tachycardia and electrical alternans. Thallium-201 stress-redistribution MPS was performed with dipyridamole stress.

The Pearl of FDG PET/CT in Preoperative Assessment of Patients with Potentially Operable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and its Clinical Impact.

The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical impact and efficacy of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) on management decisions for patients suffering from clinically operable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A retrospective review of 186 potentially operable NSCLC patients who underwent whole-body PET/CT examination in 2012 was performed. The patients were further analyzed via the electronic patient record (ePR) system for relevant findings.

Promising Role of Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Associated Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

This case report explores the potential role of FDG PET/CT in HIV -associated systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (HIV-NHLs). In our locality, there are a cumulative total of 5523 reported HIV infections cases since 1984. We reported a case of HIV-related Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that underwent PET/CT examination in our PET centre.

Prevalence of detecting unknown cerebral metastases in fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and its potential clinical impact.

To determine the prevalence of incidental finding of unknown cerebral metastases and explore the clinical impact of detecting unknown brain metastases among individuals underwent whole body fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with brain included in field of view. A retrospective review of 1876 patients who underwent whole body PET/CT examination in our clinical PET center for oncological evaluation from January 2009 to September 2009 was performed. The total number and prevalence of unknown brain metastases detected by PET/CT were calculated.
