Quintessential Role of 18Fluorine Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Differentiation of Viable Tumor Tissue and Nondisease Desmoplastic Residue

Abstract

The authors report a series of cases of treated nodal, solid malignancies showing persisting physical residue after completion of treatment with 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computerized tomography showing non-avid status conjuring a nondisease desmoplastic residue over morphological disease.
