Integrated PET/CT of salivary gland type carcinoma of the lung in 12 patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to show the integrated 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of salivary gland type carcinomas of the lung.


CONCLUSIONS
Salivary gland type carcinomas of the lung appear as airway tumors with variable CT morphologies and show different patterns and extents of FDG uptake on PET images according to their grades of differentiation.
