Clinical relevance of incidental focal breast uptake on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography studies: an experience in a high-load center of Spain

Both SUVmax and maximum diameter were greater in malignant than in benign lesions. An exhaustive study with ultrasound/mammography and selective histopathological correlation is mandatory after BIU findings, even in small lesions.
