Focal Nasopharyngeal Activity Detected on [18F]FDG PET/CT: Clinical Implications and Comparison of Metabolic Parameters for Prediction of Malignancy

ConclusionNPC is an infrequent but important cause of incidental focal nasopharyngeal uptake on [18F]FDG PET/CT. Metabolic parameters were shown to be useful to differentiate between benign and malignant nasopharyngeal lesions, and NPR showed the best diagnostic performance.
