In the evaluation of a patient's primary hematologic malignancy, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging may incidentally detect a concerning abnormality suggestive of a second concurrent cancer. Despite accounting for nearly 10% of all cancers diagnosed in Canada, there has yet to be a systematic review focused on the prevalence and significance of these incidental PET/CT findings in the context of primary hematologic malignancies. As such, a systematic search strategy was employed on MEDLINE and Embase to document the prevalence and clinical significance of incidental PET/CT findings suggestive of a second concurrent cancer detected in patients evaluated for their primary hematologic malignancy.

Intracranial cystic lesions such as hemangioblastoma (HB) are commonly found incidentally; however, they can be difficult to diagnose because they require various differential diagnoses. A contrast-enhanced mural nodule on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typical and can be diagnosed preoperatively; however, some small nodules cannot be visualised and only cysts may be seen, complicating preoperative diagnosis. In such cases, thorough observation of the cysts is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
