FDG uptake in benign asymmetric hypertrophy of the masticator muscles.
A case of asymmetric increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in unilateral pterygomasseter muscles is shown. The authors report an example of intense F-18 FDG uptake in the benign pterygomasseteric muscle complex hypertrophy in a patient with a history of longstanding unilateral chewing.
