Lung endometriosis is a rare condition. A 44-year-old woman with known lung endometriosis and radiological follow-up showed progression of bilateral lung affection at control CT, with an enlarged solid nodule with respect to previous control. 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed to assess that lesion and to guide biopsy.

Background And Objective: We determined the utility of the (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computerized tomography (CT) in the localization of the primary tumor in patients with tumor of unknown origin (TUO).

Patients And Method: (18)F-FDG PET-CT scans, performed between November 2006 and November 2010, in search for the primary tumor in patients with TUO, were retrospectively evaluated. Patients underwent a standard PET-CT, 50-60minutes after intravenous injection of 296-370MBq (18)F-FDG.
