18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the diagnosis of a rare mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta in a patient with fever of unknown origin

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a condition with high mortality that often presents a diagnostic challenge to clinicians.
