Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 58-year-old woman with dysphagia and hoarseness underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT to detect the original lesion and disease spread. Bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and abnormal FDG uptakes in the right tonsil and pharyngeal wall were demonstrated. CT and MRI confirmed the bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and mucosal thickening in the pharyngeal wall. On the basis of these findings, biopsy sites were selected. Pharyngeal tuberculosis was diagnosed based on culture of the biopsy specimens. 18F-FDG PET/CT contributed to clinical management in this case by detecting tuberculous lesions and showing the extent of these lesions in one examination. |
