Subdiaphragmatic Lymph Nodes Uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT After COVID-19 Vaccination in the Thigh
We describe a patient with breast cancer who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT 7 days after receiving COVID-19 vaccination in the right thigh. 18F-FDG uptake was observed in nonenlarged right-sided inguinal, iliac, and para-aortic lymph nodes. As the thigh can be used as an alternate site for COVID-19 vaccine injection in case of lymphedema in both arms or for adequate axillary staging in patients with breast cancer, physicians should be aware of such 18F-FDG uptake pattern.PMID:34661560 | DOI:10.1097/RLU.0000000000003941
