title: Lighting the tunnel: FDG PET/CT findings leading to incidental diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
abstract: Nonspecific accumulation of F FDG observed at sites of inflammation, during PET imaging of patients with cancer, is a known phenomenon, and PET/CT has evolved into a promising imaging technique to examine, diagnose, and manage inflammatory disorders. We describe nonspecific uptake of FDG in a patient with known malignancy, leading to incidental diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
