Figures & data
Figure 1. Tumor in the left thyroid gland showing a picture of a malignant lymphoma with diffuse lymphocyte infiltration and focal lymphoid nodular proliferation on a background of chronic thyroiditis. The nucleus of the tumor cells is small to intermediate sized and irregularly shaped, as shown in the inset (lower right).
Figure 2. Whole-body PET performed 45 min after an intravenous injection of 370 MBq FDG using a Siemens ACCEL PET scanner. (A) Maximal intensity projection (MIP) view, (B) transverse section, and (C) sagittal section revealing focally intense FDG uptake in the anterior left side of the neck. The maximal standard uptake value (SUVm) of the lesion was 12.2. No abnormal uptake was demonstrated on the right side of the neck or elsewhere.
