A case of epithelioid cell granulomas arising at the margin of lung resection, with high accumulation on 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography

A case of epithelioid cell granulomas arising at the margin of lung resection, with high accumulation on 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography

Abstract It is important to distinguish tumour recurrence from other conditions that could show high accumulation on 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET). We describe the case of a 78‐year‐old woman who underwent partial resection of the left lower lung lobe for carcinoid tr...
