  • Title: Unexpected slight fluorodeoxyglucose-uptake on positron emission tomography in a pulmonary hamartoma.
    Author: Himpe U, Deroose CM, Leyn PD, Verbeken E, Vansteenkiste J.
    Journal: J Thorac Oncol; 2009 Jan; 4(1):107-8. PubMed ID: 19096317.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with suspected hamartoma with slight fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET). Initially, follow-up with repeat computed tomography (CT) scan was proposed. Because of the risk for retro-obstructive pneumonia, and because there was a small increase in diameter of the lesion on CT, thoracotomy was proposed. Pathologic examination revealed a surprising and rare finding.
