Abstract

The diagnostic power of an integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system for whole-body 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) imaging is clearly demonstrated in this case report. The precise anatomic localization of FDG uptake with CT in a PET/CT scan of a patient with known breast carcinoma helped identify a contralateral breast tumor with axillary lymph node metastasis despite the presence of extensive physiologic brown fat FDG uptake. Accordingly, the patient received appropriate surgical management and pathologic confirmation of the disease.
