case_images: PET/CT F-FDG scan of tumor mass at the intercostal nodule at the level of the 12th right rib.. Notes: CT and the corresponding PET image obtained in April, 2016; the arrow indicates metabolic activity of the lesion (SUV[max] value of 5.3) (A). CT and the corresponding PET image obtained in August (B) and in December (C).. Abbreviations: PET/CT, positron emission tomography-computed tomography; SUV, standardized uptake value.

case_images: However, both lesions showed less metabolic activity according to the PET/CT Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) (SUV[max] values of 4 and 3.2 instead of the previous 5.2 and 5.3, respectively; Figures 1A and B and 2A and B). SUV(max) value decreased from 4 to 3.5 (Figure 2B and C). Similarly, the intercostal nodule at the level of the 12th right rib experimented a slight increase from 26 to 28 mm; however, its metabolic activity rose from an SUV(max) value of 3.2 to 4.1 (Figure 1B and C).
case_images: PET/CT F-FDG scan of the retrocrural adenopathy at the level of the 11th right dorsal vertebra.. Notes: CT and the corresponding PET image obtained in April; the arrow indicates metabolic activity of the lesion (SUV[max] value of 5.2) (A). CT and the corresponding PET image obtained in August (B) and in December (C).. Abbreviations: PET/CT, positron emission tomography-computed tomography; SUV, standardized uptake value.
