Two Cases of Epstein-Barr Virus–Positive Mucocutaneous Ulcer Mimicking Head and Neck Cancers in 18F-FDG PET/CT

Epstein-Barr virus–positive mucocutaneous ulcer is a newly recognized clinicopathological entity among mature B-cell neoplasms according to the 2016 revision of the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria. Here, we present FDG PET/CT images of 2 Epstein-Barr virus–positive mucocutaneous ulcer cases. Both cases shown in the images mimicked head and neck cancers, which are similar to carcinomas of the tonsil and gingiva, respectively, and both lesions showed intense FDG uptake on PET scan.
