| Core Tip |
Unexpectedly identified uptake on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) is not a rare finding. Among the uptakes, focal uptake may have clinical implications by harboring malignant lesions. In this study, the clinical significance of the incidentally identified focal FDG uptake in the colon/rectum, thyroid, and prostate was investigated with the malignancy rate, comparison of PET parameters, and receiver operating characteristic curve. Overall, approximately up to 60% were malignancies (including premalignancy) for the regions and SUVmax was a superior PET parameter in discrimination between malignant/premalignant and benign lesions. The findings should lead physicians to conduct further investigations more confidently without ignoring the focal uptake. |
