Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Nov;45(11):921-922. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003229.

Abstract

A 55-year-old woman underwent FDG PET/CT to evaluate a pancreatic mass. The images showed elevated FDG activity in the uncinated process of the pancreas, suggestive of malignancy. However, pathological examination from the resected lesion demonstrated pancreatic schwannoma.
