Core Tip	On restaging F18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography for oncologic patients, a potential problem we may be aware is postoperative reactive lymphadenitis, which may mimic regional nodal metastases. The size and intensity of FDG uptake of the lymph nodes cannot be reliably used for differentiation of reactive lymphadenitis from regional nodal metastasis. Surgical oncologists and radiologists should be aware of reactive lymphadenitis when FDG avid lymphadenopathy is only seen in the lymphatic draining location from surgical site.
