Figure 1 A 66-year-old man referred for initial staging of lung cancer. An intensely hypermetabolic (maximal standardized uptake value 10.6) left-sided thyroid nodule (arrow) was reported and ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy was recommended. Cytological examination revealed findings suspicious for papillary thyroid carcinoma. The patient died within 2 months from febrile neutropenia, gram-negative sepsis, and multiorgan failure while on chemotherapy for his primary lung cancer.

Figure 2 A 74-year-old woman referred for prebiopsy assessment of a right lower lobe mass. Moderate hypermetabolism (maximal standardized uptake value 4.0) associated with a 1.9 cm × 1.3 cm section of the distal body of the pancreas (arrow) was reported, and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen was recommended for further evaluation. Follow-up magnetic resonance abdomen, tumour localization octreotide single-photon emission computed tomography, and 2 magnetic resonance pancreas studies were unremarkable. On a positron emission tomography with computed tomography study 1.5 years later, the lesion had resolved.
