The distribution of the novel Covid-19 vaccines has been on a scale as unprecedented as the pandemic itself. While the vaccines promise to greatly reduce the spread and impact of the disease, encountering side-effects in clinical practice may pose diagnostic dilemmas. In this case report, we describe a patient with known metastatic renal cell carcinoma who presents with axillary lymphadenopathy found on PET/CT imaging after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine, which was subsequently confirmed to be reactive lymphadenopathy following biopsy.
Conclusion and/or Teaching Points: IR has a pivotal role in treating patients with vascular malformations. IR has a useful, but more limited role, in treating vascular tumors, as many of these respond to pharmacological therapy. Not all lesions require treatment and it is important that patients are fully assessed by a multidisciplinary team to determine if treatment is required. IR treatment(s) may be used alone or to compliment to other therapies such as surgery and laser therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
