18F-FDG PET/CT With Diffusely High FDG Uptake Throughout Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues CLINICAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE Kong, M., Nadel, H. 2018; 43 (10): 762–63Abstract
A 9-year-old girl presented with facial rash, angioedema, fevers, and night sweats. She was diagnosed with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection and placed on chronic steroid treatment. F-FDG PET/CT performed 3 weeks following presentation revealed diffuse subcutaneous soft tissue FDG activation throughout the entire body, with likely localization to white subcutaneous adipose tissue. This highly unusual appearance may have been due to the patient being treated with corticosteroids at the time of the scan.
