Abstract
|
|
|
|
Diffuse increased uptake on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (18FFDG PET) is a well-known finding of the lymphocytic thyroiditis. Nevertheless, a pathologic confirmation is needed in cases of a focal 18FFDG uptake in the thyroid gland. This article reports a rare case of a focal 18FFDG uptake lesion by PET, which was revealed pathologically to be lymphocytic thyroiditis.
