PET/CT imaging in management of concomitant Hodgkin lymphoma and tuberculosis – a problem solver tool
Key Clinical Message
Infectious lymph nodes mimicking lymphoma is challenging for accurate staging. Although 18F‐FDG is a nonspecific tracer accumulating not only in tumor cells but also in inflammatory tissues, the metabolic features and uptake kinetics give valuable information: 18F‐FDG PET/CT appears as a useful problem solver tool in ambiguous situation.
