Abstract

F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computerised tomography (CT) has been widely used in the imaging of cancer. Incidental findings on FDG-PET/CT are frequently encountered during tumor evaluation in patients. In this paper, an incidentally detected costal cartilage fracture on FDG-PET/CT during suspicious pulmonary nodule evaluation in a patient was presented.
