title: Diffuse Hepatic FDG Activity From Nonmalignant Etiologies.
abstract: Diffuse increased ¹⁸F-FDG activity is commonly caused by malignant involvement. We describe here cases of diffuse, uniformly increased ¹⁸F-FDG activity due to nonmalignant illnesses in 2 patients: one had parvovirus B19 infection, whereas the other had porphyria, a heme synthesis disorder.
