Abstract

An 38 year-old female with oral tongue cancer was referred for FDG-PET/CT scan for evaluating axillary lymph nodes and restaging malignancy. Bilateral uptake of axillary and epitrochlear lymph nodes were observed on PET/CT imaging. The uptake pattern was unexpected for the patient with this malignancy and she had a history of rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, the wrists were included in the field of view and showed elevated FDG uptake. In this case report, we report benign axillary and epitrochlear tracer uptake on FDG-PET/CT scan in a patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis.
