Testicular Incidentaloma on F-choline PET/CT in a Patient with Prostatic Adenocarcinoma.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is characterized by elevated phosphatidylcholine metabolism. F-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for patients with biochemical recurrence and a prostate-specific antigen threshold above 2 ng/mL. We report a case of a patient with high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma undergoing F-choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence.

COVID-19 pneumonia incidentally discovered on [18F]F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT scan.

A 75-year-old man underwent a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan with fluorine-18-prostate specific membrane antigen ([¹⁸F]F-PSMA-1007) for initial staging of prostate adenocarcinoma. The scan showed lung infiltrates predominantly in both lower lobes with moderate uptake, in addition to a bilateral pulmonary hilar lymph node uptake. CT images revealed ground-glass opacities and a reticular pattern, suggesting COVID-19 pneumonia, which was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Incidental Tc-99m MIBI Lung Uptake in Parathyroid Scintigraphy.

Diffuse Tc-99m MIBI uptake in the lungs during parathyroid scintigraphy is exceptional, and only a few cases have described this unusual aspect. The differential diagnostic of this funding is a challenge when interpreting the examination, since it can be a sign of serious pathology. We report the case of unexpected diffusely increased Tc-99m MIBI uptake in bilateral lung fields in a patient with left cardiac dysfunction.

Neurolymphomatosis diagnosed on [18F]FDG PET/CT.

Fluorine-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) has been shown to be superior to other conventional imaging modalities in the detection of extra-nodal lymphomatous localizations. Especially in neurolymphomatosis which is rarely encountered in high-grade lymphomas. We report a case of a woman diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, whose initial staging with [18F]FDG PET/CT showed increased [18F]FDG uptake along the brachial and sacral plexuses.

COVID-19 Pneumonia was Incidentally Detected on F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in a Work-up for Prostate Cancer.

This is a presentation of the case of a patient who underwent F-fluorocholine positron emission/computed tomography to stage a prostate cancer with incidentally found bilateral pneumonia. A high prevalence of incidental pneumonia is very probable under the current circumstance of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and oncological patients are at increased risk of COVID-19 with poorer outcome. The lung inflammatory burden in the case of COVID-19 infection can be demonstrated by F-fluorocholine.

Bleomycin-Induced Lung Toxicity in Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Risk Factors in the Positron Emission Tomography Era.

Introduction Bleomycin is a major antimitotic agent in the first-line treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The main limitation of its use is its pulmonary toxicity. The objectives of this study are to find out the risk factors for the occurrence of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and, on the other hand, to determine if positron emission tomography scan is a reliable means of early detection of this toxicity.

A rare case of pituitary metastasis from breast cancer detected on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography that presented as insipid diabetes.

Pituitary metastases are rare, are generally asymptomatic, and often remain undiagnosed. Breast cancer is the most common primary cancer metastasizing to hypophysis in women. However, it is difficult to clinically and radiologically differentiate pituitary metastases from pituitary adenomas.

Unsuspected Intramedullary Spinal Cord Metastasis Detected by FDG PET/CT.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (SCMs) are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of a 60-year-old man with a history of right nonsmall cell lung cancer treated by concomitant radiochemotherapy who complained, 9 months after treatment completion, of chest pain, breath shortness, and more recently back pain. An F-FDG PET/CT was performed as part of the restaging process and showed a hypermetabolic mass of the right lung in addition to ipsilateral mediastinal hypermetabolic lymph nodes.

Contribution of radiobiphosphonates bone scan in multifocal tuberculous osteomyelitis.

We share the case of a 86-year-old male patient, followed up for recent left hip pain. Interrogation revealed a fever, nocturnal shivering, and bone pains. Standard radiographs and computed tomography centered on both shoulders and pelvis showed osteoarthritis of the left hip and multiple lytic lesions in both humeral heads and clavicles, suggestive of chronic infectious, metabolic, or secondary disease.

Peritoneal Super Scan on F-FDG PET/CT in two patients with Lymphoma.

  Peritoneal lymphomatosis is an extremely rare presentation of lymphoma. Due to its relative low frequency, it receives much less attention than peritoneal carcinomatosis. The challenge is to differentiate between lymphomatosis and carcinomatosis, as well as peritoneal tuberculosis or other pathologic entities within the peritoneal cavity based essentially on radiologic features.

Multiple scalp metastases from pulmonary adenocarcinoma seen on fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography.

Scalp metastasis from a primary visceral malignancy is an uncommon clinical entity. Here, we report a case of scalp metastases from lung cancer seen on fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography.

A case of Tietze's syndrome visualized on PET/CT-FDG.

We report an interesting image of a 49-year-old woman revealed with Tietze's syndrome (TS) by ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. She presented with right upper sternum pain with a hard and fixed palpable mass. Chest radiograph and CT-Scanner revealed no abnormalities.

Striatal hypermetabolism in a case of IgG4-related disease.

A 77 years-old man with lung and bone involvement of proven IgG4-related disease complained of tree month's memory deficits. Brain MRI was normal. 18F-FDG whole body PET/CT showed in addition to the bone lesions, a marked symmetrical striatal hypermetabolism in contrast with cortical hypometabolism.
