Diagnostic Test Accuracy of 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT showed an excellent performance for diagnosis of MCC. The likelihood ratio scattergram indicated that 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT is useful for exclusion and confirmation of MCC. Further large multicenter studies would be necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT for MCC patients.
