Fulltext PDFThe 18F-FDG PET/CT provide an accurate staging and post-therapeutic surveillance of cancer. In the process of detecting high metabolic malignancy, this combined functional and anatomic imaging modality may demonstrate unexpected remote metastases or incidental additional primary cancers. Incidental 18F-FDG–avid lesions in the breast are rare on PET/CT but, when present, are associated with high risk of malignancy. As a result, it is important to thoroughly investigate these lesions using other imaging modalities and ultimately to sample tissue when clinically or radio graphically indicated. We report a case of 68-year-old lady, with known Large B cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, who presented with PET/CT incidental findings of a breast cancer.
