- Abstract:
- The authors describe a 68-year-old patient with carcinoma of the tongue. Routinely conducted tumor staging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) performed with a dual-head coincidence camera showed the primary malignancy as an intense hypermetabolic focus and led to a correct negative interpretation of lymph node involvement Increased F-18 FDG uptake in the second cervical vertebra was noted. Further diagnostic studies such as bone scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), and conventional radiographs with follow-up ruled out the presence of a bony metastasis and confirmed the diagnosis of monostotic Paget's disease.
