| Diffuse increased uptake on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission
Tomography (18FFDG PET) is a well-known finding of the lymphocytic thyroiditis.
Nevertheless, a pathologic confirmation is needed in cases of a focal 18FFDG uptake in
the thyroid gland. This article reports a rare case of a focal 18FFDG uptake lesion by
PET, which was revealed pathologically to be lymphocytic thyroiditis. |
