Abstract: F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is an important diagnostic imaging method in the evaluation of lung tumors. However, it also accumulates in benign lesions and inflammatory diseases. Localized focal uptake on a background of diffuse activity involving both lungs was seen on a whole-body FDG PET scan that was performed to evaluate lung carcinoma. However, sometimes because of increased background uptake in the setting of benign processes, low-grade malignant lesions may be missed.
