Fig. 1From: PET/CT variants and pitfalls in malignant melanoma44-year-old woman, referred for initial staging for prior melanoma on the left cheek. Panel A displays lateral MIP view. Multiple subcutaneous 18F-FDG foci can be seen on the face (B) and the trunk (C), all located close to the midline related to dermoepidermitis. These could be confused with subcutaneous metastases without clinical correlation. It is noteworthy that some non 18F-FDG avid cystic lesions are also seen (D). Sebaceous cysts and other benign lesions apparent on correlative CT are usually readily diagnosed by clinical examinationBack to article page
