Sarcoid-Like Reaction Mimicking Nodal Spread of Lung Cancer in a Silica-Exposed Patient on Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography: A Case Report
Abstract:As a noninvasive modality, Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an important first step to assess mediastinal lymph node (LN) status in malignant pulmonary lesions. However, incorrect upstaging may occur due to false-positive results. Determining N stage is of utmost importance, and will affect the treatment planning strategy. Presently described is a staging challenge with PET/CT in a silica-exposed patient who was evaluated for characterization of … Show more
