Core Tip	Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has proven to be useful in evaluation of carcinoma of unknown primary origin before panendoscopy and biopsy, regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. PET/CT could be the only study that reveals residual or recurrent tumors when the neck anatomy is markedly distorted after treatment. Limitations of PET/CT in evaluation of primary tumor extent are also discussed to alert the radiologists so they may suggest and correlate with appropriate imaging modalities. The article utilizes diagrams and multi planar reconstructed PET/CT from several histopathologically-proven cases with emphasis on imaging and clinical correlation.
