Intussusception incidentally detected by FDG-PET/CT in a pediatric lymphoma patient.
An FDG-PET/CT scan was performed in a 14-year-old boy for the purpose of staging known lymphoma. The PET images identified the primary bowel lymphoma while the corresponding CT portion of the study found the intussusception caused by the lymphoma. The incidental finding of intussusception changed the management regime of the patient. Careful evaluation of both PET and CT images of the PET/CT is essential in providing the best patient care.
