A 50-year-old man with carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa underwent staging whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography, which revealed a hypermetabolic heterogeneously enhancing lobulated primary lesion in the right buccal region and an incidental finding of subacute stroke. The case highlights the importance of discriminating brain neoplasms mimicking stroke from true ischemic stroke, which is crucial for appropriate management of patients in an oncology setting.
