2. Fig. 1
PET transaxial image at pelvis level (A) shows an increased [11C]choline uptake (SUV=2.5), corresponding to a lymph node of the right internal iliac chain (arrow), as shown in the combined PET/CT corresponding image (B). Histopathology after surgical resection confirmed the presence of viable tumor cells in the lymph node. PET=positron emission tomography; SUV=standardized uptake value; CT=computed tomography.

3. Fig. 2
PET transaxial image at abdomen level (A) shows an increased [11C]choline uptake (SUV=6.4), corresponding to a retroperitoneal lymph node at the left common iliac site (arrow), as shown in the combined PET/CT corresponding image (B). Histopathology after surgical resection confirmed the presence of viable tumor cells in the lymph node. PET=positron emission tomography; SUV=standardized uptake value; CT=computed tomography.
