Figure 3 This patient was investigated for suspected recurrence of ovarian carcinoma. FDG PET/CT demonstrated a partially FDG-avid pelvic mass causing left hydronephrosis. An FDG-avid thyroid nodule (SUVmax=11.2) was detected, with no suspicious ultrasound features, and benign cytology on fine-needle aspiration cytology.

Figure 4 FDG PET/CT was performed for evaluation of a left upper lobe pulmonary nodule. The FDG-avid pulmonary nodule was later confirmed to be a primary lung adenocarcinoma. The FDG-avid thyroid nodule (SUVmax=7.6) with marked hypervascularity was found to be a papillary thyroid carcinoma.
